Sahith Theegala self-reported a two-stroke penalty Saturday at 2024 Tour Championship

Sahith Theegala used rounds of 67-66 during the first two rounds of the 2024 Tour Championship in Atlanta to play himself into contention heading into Moving Day.

After a lengthy birdie make on the par-3 second Saturday, a unique rules situation dropped Theegala from 13 under to 11 under.

Theegala self-reported a two-shot penalty after he grazed the sand in a fairway bunker on the third hole. He made par, but it turned into a six after speaking with an official.

According to the PGA Tour, Theegala “will have the opportunity to review the penalty with a rules official following his round.”
