Bryson DeChambeau’s caddie has a nervous moment

At the sixth hole, DeChambeau was getting ready for a birdie. Hence, he asked his caddie, Brian Zeigler, to take care of his flagstick. However, As DeChambeau made his shot, Zeigler was unable to move the flagstick. The moment of madness sent fans straight into a panic. However, the ball never made it to the hole.

Anyway, according to reports, fans can breathe easy as Bryson DeChambeau’s caddie had not put the American at any risk, even if the ball reached the hole. “In the past, prior to 2019, if the ball would’ve hit the flagstick in that case, the player would’ve been penalized,” said Brad Gregory of the PGA of America. This time, as Zeigler was trying to get the stick out, it was an accidental deflection.

“He’s trying to get the flagstick out — it would’ve been an accidental deflection and there would be no penalty, and the player would play the ball as it lies, even if it went into the hole,” Brad added.

Reports also highlight Rule 13.2b that covers the situation. It confirms that if the ball is in motion and accidentally hits the flagstick (or the person), there will be no penalty. The ball will only have to be played as it lies after that.

Undoubtedly, more drama is sure to follow.
