Rickie Fowler's putt was the length of a pencil. Cameron Tringale could've used an eraser. Fowler's silly mistake — a miss from 6 inches on the sixth green — cost him a weekend starting time at the PGA Championship.
Tringale's error — signing an incorrect scorecard — saved him a couple hours of waiting around before he headed home, as well.
They were among the 77 players to miss the cut at Harding Park, meaning an early departure from San Francisco. Fowler, frustrated that an on-line par putt got knocked off track by something on the green, pointed at the spot where the putt veered off.
He then casually walked up to the ball, which wasn't more than 6 inches from the cup, and took a stab at it. It barely moved.
