Harrington on PGA Tour golf cheat: "Is this poor person under outside pressure?"
Padraig Harrington in disbelief at the latest golf cheat scandal on PGA Tour Canada.
Padraig Harrington has called into question whether golf cheat Justin Doeden is "under some outside pressure" following his shock actions on the PGA Tour Canada circuit last week.
Harrington, speaking ahead of this week's Senior Open at Royal Porthcawl in Wales, admits he was in disbelief that a Tour pro could think they could cheat and get away with it in the modern era.
Doeden took to Twitter to confirm he had cheated last weekend.
He made a double-bogey seven on the 18th hole but he then erased his score to a five to so that he could make the halfway cut.
While tournament organisers looked into what had happened after he had submitted his scorecard, Doeden chose to withdraw knowing his fate.
Doeden tweeted that it was "the biggest mistake" he had made in his life.
When pressed by the media on Doeden's cheating last week, Harrington said:
What did you make of Doeden's cheating? Have you seen any cheating at your golf club? Share your thoughts and comments over on the GolfMagic social media channels.
