Dahmen accuses Kang of cheating in final round at National
Joel Dahmen was uneasy after Sunday's final round at the Quicken Loans National, having unsuccessfully argued that playing partner Sung-hoon Kang cheated.
On the par-5 10th, Kang's second shot found the hazard. After a lengthy dispute forced the next group to play through, Dahmen was asked on Twitter what happened.
Kang cheated. He took a bad drop from a hazard. I argued until I was blue. I lost.

A PGA Tour rules official was called in to determine a verdict and sided with Kang. He ultimately saved par on the hole and shot a 64, good enough to finish in a tie for third for the tournament and qualify for The Open at Carnoustie later in July.
Dahmen was asked why he signed Kang's card at the end of the round.
"At that point, there is nothing I can do," he said, according to ESPN's Bob Harig. "If I don't sign the card, the rules official will. I would just be delaying the inevitable."
