2016 PGA Championship: Chief officer apologizes to group for inaccurate hole position

SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, N.J. -- The PGA issued a formal apology to Colt Knost, Joe Summerhays and Yuta Ikeda of Japan after Friday's hole location at the par-4, 460-yard No. 10 was inaccurately positioned and listed.

The group was the first to tee off at the 10th in the morning wave. Those golfer encountered the mislocated pin after hitting their second shots onto the green.

According to a PGA statement, the hole -- which was cut on the right side of the green -- was intended to be on the left.

Ikeda and Knost both bogeyed the hole, but Ikeda went on to post a five-birdie 67 and is at 3-under 137 through two rounds.

Knost carded a second-round 73, dropping him to 2-over 142.

Summerhays, a PGA club professional and the cousin of Daniel Summerhays, parred No. 10 and shot a 73 to bring him to 9-over 149.

Subsequent groupings were informed of the error.

Kerry Haigh, the PGA's chief championships officer, personally apologized to Knost, Summerhays and Ikeda once they had completed their rounds
