Accusations of cheating
Golf fans took to social media to express their skepticism about Langer‘s tactics during the playoff. Paolo Uggetti, a journalist, fueled the debate by posting a zoomed-in photo of Langer‘s ball on the course, suggesting that he may have teed up his ball in a bunker to gain an advantage.
“I know it’s scramble rules, but we need to have a conversation about Langer literally teeing up his ball in the bunker so he could hit driver! The zoom-in camera did him no favors,” Uggetti wrote on X.
The golf community quickly piled on, accusing Langer of exploiting rules to his benefit. Comments ranged from light-hearted jabs to outright accusations.
The incident has reignited memories of past controversies involving Langer, including a dispute during a Ryder Cup match where his ball was near a water hazard.
