SPRINGFIELD, N.J. — Mel Reid came into the third round of the KPMG Women’s PGA one shot behind her Solheim Cup partner Leona Maguire. The momentum of the week, however, quickly unraveled for the Englishwoman after an unusual mistake.
After a pair of bogeys on the first four holes, Reid had an unfortunate mental error on the par-4 fifth at Baltusrol’s Lower Course. The veteran player marked her ball and picked it up on the fringe of the green, resulting in a one-stroke penalty under Rule 9.4b.
