Tour hands out first slow-play penalty in 22 years

AVONDALE, La. – The PGA Tour handed out its first slow-play penalty since 1995 on Thursday during the first round of alternate shot at the Zurich Classic.

Rookie Brian Campbell and partner Miguel Angel Carballo each received a bad time and were assessed a one-shot penalty as a team, dropping their score to 2-over 74.

“I kinda felt like it was a little unfair,” Campbell said in the locker room before his second round, “but nothing we could do about it.”

As alternates, Campbell and Carballo were paired together at TPC Louisiana.
