It’s something you don’t see every day.
Will Zalatoris and Cam Davis were each penalized two strokes for playing the wrong golf ball on the par-5 15th hole Sunday during the final part of The Sentry at Kapalua’s Plantation course.
Rules expert Mark Dusbabek explained that Zalatoris played Davis’ ball, then Davis played Zalatoris. Neither player realized the mistake until they reached the green.
The penalty for playing the wrong ball is two shots, so players had to go back to their previous shots and play again from there.
Zalatoris and Detry both made doubles on the par 5.
