[FONT=&quot]There were accusations of cheating at the Quicken Loans National on Sunday.

[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Several hours after the conclusion of Sunday's round at TPC Potomac, PGA Tour pro Joel Dahmen wrote on Twitter that Sung Kang took an unfair drop at No. 10. The pair argued for more than 20 minutes — allowing another pairing to play through — before a rules official finally sided with Kang.

[FONT=&quot]When asked on Twitter about the lengthy delay, Dahmen didn't mince words.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]"Kang cheated," he wrote. "He took a bad drop from a hazard. I argued until I was blue. I lost."

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Dahmen explained in subsequent tweets that he and Kang had what he described as "a typical dispute" involving a drop on No. 10. Kang, 31, believed that his shot had landed in the hazard, which allowed him to drop his ball on the side of the hazard that was closer to the hole. Dahmen did not think that Kang's ball crossed the hazard.

[FONT=&quot]Kang went on to par the hole and finish in third place at 12 under. Dahmen said he had no choice at the end of the round but to sign Kang's scorecard, thereby certifying his official score.[/FONT]

strange they didn't call over an official...plus with all the tv coverage of the leaders you would think it would be a pretty clear decision

A lot of those guys take those kind of drops. I know one who told me about a drop Chris Couch took at the Bob Hope one year..Same kind of thing..said it crossed hazard but my friend told me it never crossed where Couch said it did.. and it was a 150 yd advantage.Unfortunately, the rules official most always sides with the player, who is supposed to have integrity
