Rule 13.3a states that &#8220;the player is allowed a reasonable time to reach the hole and ten more seconds to wait to see whether the ball will fall into the hole.&#8221; However, &#8220;reasonable time&#8221; is not clear-cut, and Hodges&#8217; putt took 34 seconds, which was deemed too long. Fellow golfer Jordan Spieth suggested the ball was still moving, but unfortunately, the rules accounted for Hodges&#8217; specific circumstances, and he received a penalty stroke, taking him from a four to a five on the hole.<\/p>\n<h3>The Championship Continues<\/h3>\n<p>The PGA Championship continues through Sunday at the Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York.
