Way Harsh: Tseng Out Of Kia Classic After Missing Pro-Am

/

Add world No. 2 Yani Tseng to the list of pros penalized pretty harshly per LPGA regulations for missing her 9:10 a.m. pro-am round.

“I’m embarrassed to admit that I wasn’t feeling well last night and accidentally overslept and missed my tee time for the pro-am this morning. I was extremely excited to compete this week to defend my title at the Kia Classic and to try to regain the No. 1 spot. This was an unfortunate mistake and I want to apologize to Kia, my sponsors and all of the fans. The Kia Classic is one of my favorite tournaments and I have so many great memories in San Diego. I can’t wait to come back here next year.”

Imagine Ray Lewis missing a Super Bowl corporate cocktail party and being forced to withdraw from the big game. Oy.
