Kevin Kisner shot a 75 in the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Sunday to finish T49. Then things got weird.
Kisner's caddie Duane Bock was reprimanded for the color of his shorts. Here's what he said on Facebook after the final round at Bay Hill:
"This PGA Tour is at it again. Apparently they had a problem with the color of my shorts today. After the round, I was told in the scoring trailer by a PGA Tour official that these shorts are not an acceptable color."
"Funny how I've been wearing these shorts every week for the last 14 tournaments but now they have a problem. Regulations state "solid-color, knee-length tailored shorts"....guess the color of my shorts is taking attention away from that MasterCard symbol I'm advertising on my back for FREE."
The "advertising for free" portion of this diatribe is a reference to the current lawsuit by a group of professional caddies and the PGA Tour.
