Last-hole eagle lifts penalized Riley over cut line
Briefly

In the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, PGA Tour golfer Davis Riley faced a significant challenge when he was penalized for using the slope feature of his range finder, which is prohibited despite the ongoing trial period of the devices. This penalty could have resulted in disqualification if repeated. Despite the setback, he managed to make an eagle on the last hole to possibly secure a spot within the cut line. The article highlights both Riley's adaptation to the rules and the PGA Tour's ongoing experiments with technology to enhance the game's pace.
Unfortunately, it was just kind of one of those moments where your heart sinks a little bit, like you're just throwing away two shots. It is what it is.
It’s the third event in which the devices are being used and we certainly have a trial period here with this, and I know the United States Golf Association is trying to do something about the range finder and the pace of play.
