Romero punches sign, tees off with putter

Andres Romero punched a tee sign on the 15th tee box Sunday at the Barracuda Championship and played his final four holes teeing off with his putter.

The strange sequence of events took place after Romero bogeyed the 13th and 14th holes in the final round. After the incident, which was not captured on tape, PGA Tour officials checked in with Romero, allowing the group behind his to play through.

Romero was able to use the modified Stableford format to his advantage in order to finish the round. With double bogey being the worst score possible on each hole, resulting in a loss of three points, Romero teed off on each of his final four holes using his putter, tapping the ball into play and then picking it up to record his score.
