LSU’s Nathan Jeansonne and South Carolina’s Ryan Hall each received three-shot penalties for missing three of the four checkpoints in Friday’s opening round. South Carolina subsequently missed the cut yesterday by 2 shots.

Ooh that's gotta hurt. Plus the 3 shot penalty took Ryan Hall out of the apparent playoff today for continuing play as an individual.

But a few questions:

Are they informed at each checkpoint that they missed the deadline?

How did the third player in their group escape being penalized? Was there some determination that he was not responsible for the group's slow play? How?

Also, is the 1-shot penalty added to their score on that hole?

Thanks.

The players should be informed at the time of the assessment. But we have seen cases on the PGA Tour where players were not informed until after they finished play that they had been penalized for slow play. But PGA Tour players are warned when they are falling behind. I don't know if the NCAA players were similarly warned.

I believe that each group has a monitor or rules official who puts players on the clock when the group falls behind. He or she determined that the 3rd player in the group was not at fault for the slow play so no penalty for them.

Btw, looks like David Snyder returns to the lineup today.
