PGA Tour Canada pro admits to cheating, apologizes

After being accused of cheating, one professional golfer has responded: He did cheat, and he’s sorry.

The player in this case is Justin Doeden, a 28-year-old from Burnsville, Minnesota, who played his college golf at Minnesota before turning pro in 2018. Doeden currently is a member on both PGA Tour Latinoamerica, where he recently lost in a playoff at that tour’s season finale and ended up No. 16 in points, and PGA Tour Canada, where he’s played three of the five events so far this summer.

According to Monday Q Info’s Ryan French, Doeden erased his score on his 36th hole of last week’s Commissionaires Ottawa Open in Dunrobin, Ontario, and wrote down a score two strokes lower so that he could make the cut on the number.
