少年关天朗在Augusta因打的慢而被罚杆,但他过4杆的总成绩仍然足够让他成为在大赛上晋级的最年轻的高尔夫球手。
他14岁,在十七洞平了标准杆之后因为打的慢而在第二轮被罚了一杆。
这位中国球手说:"我尊重这个决定,(依规则)他们可以这么作"
Gregory Bourdy, 在2010年美国PGA,是上一个因打的慢而被罚的人。
关天朗在16洞时平于标准杆,但在十七洞被欧洲主裁John Paramor警告过后打出超过标准杆1杆的成绩。
这个少年说他需要额外的时间估测复杂的风向。
"(尽管被罚)这仍然是很好的经历"他说"到目前为止我很喜欢这周的比赛,我的表现也很好"
大师赛竞赛委员会主席Fred Ridley发表声明解释了中国业余选手Ben Crenshaw和选手助理 Matteo Manassero在第十洞被视为没处在正确位置。
关天朗是在第12洞被计时的,第13洞的第二杆之后受到第一次警告,在打第17洞第二杆时再次超过40秒时限相当长的时间后被罚。尽管这个小挫折,他仍以75杆平了标准杆,第一局他以73杆完成的比赛。他落后于领头选手澳洲的Jason Day10杆。
两次冠军获得者Crenshaw说:"这不会结束的很漂亮的,我替他恶心,他才14岁,我为发生这种事感到遗憾"
Manassero曾是最年轻的晋级选手的纪录保持者,他在十六岁时在2009公开赛最后两天晋级。
这个意大利人说关天朗确实用了很长时间,他说"这是他要小心的最大问题,因为(他的其他方面)已经都准备好了"目前他以74杆的成绩高出领头选手5杆。"当球童拿杆给他时,他已经准备好了,但大多数时候他花太多时间问一些我认为他已经知道答案的问题,他只是想再确认一下,我们都为他感到难过,但这就是职业高尔夫,这次比赛最终会带给他很好的经验"
Clubhouse的领导人Fred Couples,1992年的冠军,不愿批评对关的出发,他说比赛规则应该一视同仁,不应因他年幼而改变。"委婉的说,我很不好受,但是我认为没人会随便来到这儿发出一个处罚,我甚至不知道谁因为这个原因而被处罚""给个14岁的孩子处罚是很难受的,但是他是在球场上,不论他年级多大,他昨天打败了很多人"
他也是PGA巡回赛的最年轻的晋级选手,打破了由加拿大人Bob Panasik保持了56年的纪录,他是在15岁时晋级了1957年加拿大公开赛的最后两轮。

Teenager Guan Tianlang was penalised for slow play at Augusta, but his overall score of four over was still enough to see him become the youngest golfer to make the cut at a major.
Guan, 14, was given the one-stroke penalty after making par on the 17th, having earlier been warned for slow play during the Masters second round.
The Chinese player said: "I respect the decision. This is what they can do."
Gregory Bourdy, at the 2010 US PGA, was the last to be penalised for slow play.
Guan carded 16 pars in total, although the one on 17 became a bogey after the European Tour's chief referee John Paramor alerted him of the penalty.
The teenager said he took extra time trying to gauge the tricky wind conditions.
"This still is a wonderful experience," he said. "I enjoyed this week so far and think I did a pretty good job."
Masters competition committee chairman Fred Ridley released a statement explaining that the Chinese amateur and playing partners Ben Crenshaw and Matteo Manassero were deemed out of position on the 10th hole.
Guan began being timed on the 12th hole, received his first warning after his second shot on the 13th, then was penalised after his second shot on the 17th "when he again exceeded the 40-second time limit by a considerable margin".
Despite the setback, the teenager went on to par the last for a 75, to go with his first-round 73.
He is exactly 10 shots behind tournament leader Jason Day of Australia.
Two-time winner Crenshaw said: "This is not going to end pretty. I'm sick for him [Guan]. I feel terrible. He is 14 years old. I'm so sorry this has happened."
Manassero held the record of being the youngest to make a major cut when at the age of 16 he qualified for the last two days of the 2009 Open.
The Italian said Guan did take too long on his shots.
"I think it's the biggest thing he needs to be careful about, because I think he's ready," said Manassero, who is five over for the championship after shooting a 74.
"When the caddie pulls the club for him, I think he's ready. But most of the times that he takes a little too long he just asks questions that I think he knows, but just to be sure, just to be clear in his mind.
"We all feel sorry, but this is the way professional golf goes.
"This will end up being a great experience for him."
Clubhouse leader Fred Couples, the 1992 champion, was reluctant to criticise Guan's penalty saying the rules should be applied just as strictly to the teenager despite his tender years.
"The soft-coated answer would be I feel bad, but I also feel like they just don't go around handing out one-shot penalties here," he said.
"I don't even know of anyone who has ever got one.
"It feels hard to give a 14-year-old a penalty, but he's in the field. He beat a lot of guys yesterday, whatever the age he is."
Guan also became the youngest player to make the cut in a PGA Tour event, breaking the 56-year-old record held by Canadian Bob Panasik, who was 15 when he made it through to the last two rounds of the 1957 Canadian Open. |
