Then-leader Clark took free relief following tee shotLowry out in front after second round on eight under
The PGA Tour has cleared Wyndham Clark of any wrongdoing after the former US Open champion’s free drop during the second round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Social media lit up on Friday after Clark took free relief following his tee shot on the 3rd hole. Tournament officials were comfortable Clark’s ball landed back in its own pitch mark, which allows a free drop. Had the ball instead rolled into another divot, Clark could only have taken a drop under penalty. The 31-year-old, who was leading the tournament at the time, went on to make a par.
