Open Leader Mishits, Yells at Cameraman, and Faces 20-Minute Ruling

U.S. Open leader Collin Morikawa endured a frustrating day on the greens, mishitting numerous putts and grappling with a challenging ruling. In a moment of frustration, Morikawa directed an angry outburst at a cameraman, further disrupting his round.

The incident occurred during the third round of the tournament as Morikawa attempted a short putt on the eighth green. After missing the shot, he expressed his frustration by yelling at the cameraman, who was positioned nearby. The cameraman swiftly moved away, but the incident cast a shadow over Morikawa’s performance.

Adding to his woes, Morikawa was involved in a lengthy ruling on the 12th hole. After his ball landed in a hazard, he deemed it unplayable and dropped in a designated area. However, officials determined that he had gone too far back, resulting in a two-stroke penalty. The ruling took over 20 minutes to resolve, further disrupting Morikawa’s rhythm.
