Furyk Oversleeps But Gets Reprieve
No thanks to his cellphone alarm not going off, Jim Furyk was unable to make it in time for tee time which meant an automatic ineligibility for the tournament. But thanks to some backing who felt that the penalty was a bit harsh, it looks like Furyk will still be able to play after all.
Furyk, who had been ranked third in the FedEx Cup standings, overslept because his cell phone alarm failed to work. PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem agreed and announced Tuesday that such instances for the rest of the year would be handled as a tour disciplinary matter and further sponsor obligations would be required.
