PGA Championship: Cameron Young’s simple putting mistake leads to 2-stroke penalty, likely missed cut

Cameron Young made a simple mistake on the green on Friday that will almost certainly keep him from making the cut at the PGA Championship.

Young, on the par-4 16th at Oak Hill Country Club, was facing a nearly 60-foot birdie putt in the second round of the second major championship of the season. He knocked that birdie putt within a few feet of the cup, and then went to mark his ball — as it was blocking both playing partners Tommy Fleetwood and Hideki Matsuyama.

Since his mark was still in the way, Young then moved his mark one clubhead to the side.
