DP World Tour rookie Jacob Skov Olesen was handed a one-shot penalty for slow play during the Australian PGA Championship. Interestingly, this was his first start on the European Tour.
Olesen entered the Australian PGA Championship as his first DP World Tour event after earning his card via Qualifying School. On Thursday, November 21, he carded a 3-over 74 in the opening round, with six bogeys and three birdies. However, he faced a one-shot penalty on the 10th hole.
On the par-4 10th hole of Royal Queensland GC, the DP World Tour rookie took 130 seconds to hit his approach shot. As per the rules, players are allowed only 40 seconds to take their shot. Thus, he was handed a penalty, which resulted in his fourth bogey of the day.
