ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – Turns out there are times when the PGA Tour has a sense of humor.
John Peterson’s “Happy Gilmore” tee shot to begin his final round earlier this month at the CIMB Classic did not result in a fine from the Tour, Peterson confirmed Monday at the RSM Classic.
“I spoke with [Andy Pazder, the Tour’s executive vice president and chief of operations] twice and explained I was just trying to get 20 more yards [out of the tee shot],” Peterson said.
Let it be known if you Gilmore it off the first on Sunday you shoot 6 under.
