PGA 18 -Week 201 - Putting Issue

So, the score recorded by the game IS CORRECT for the result that occurred. However, what occurred is the issue. I was putting for birdie on the 10th hole of Round 3. I was just off the green in the fairway and chose to putt. I made the putt. A full 6 seconds later, the hole vomited my ball and it rolled 33 yards back into the fairway...leaving me 33 yards for par. I ended up with double bogey.

I saved the shot and recorded a video as evidence. Normally, I wouldn't even bring this up in this forum, but as it happens, this occurred on what is arguably the BEST tournament I have ever played! It currently has me as #1 on the leaderboard, but if that 3 shot swing costs me the tourney win...well...that would SUCK! :sad:

I am not sure if there is precedent for correcting a 3 stroke difference due to a game glitch, but if there is, I would definitely appreciate it. A link to the video is provided below. In the video, the ball clearly goes in the hole...you even hear it tap the flag stick...then 6 seconds later...out she comes.

Wow that's one of the worst glitches I've seen in this game.

@TheOtherRick...1st shot? Is that a video gremlin or were you just practising?

Just wondering.

But well played!

The ball actually pops up thru the turf about a foot past the hole and comes back right over the hole and thru the flag stick. The game had this "popping thru the turf" glitch in the past but I forget why it happens.

When I loaded the saved shot to record it, the game loaded the course and called it the first shot and even par. I checked this out by loading several other saved shots this morning and the same thing happens on all of them. Shows me at 1st shot and even par. If there is a different way of loading a saved shot, please let me know. The method I am using is going to "Solo Play", then clicking the "Saved Shot" tab to select the saved shot I want to load. The video was not recorded from in the game while playing the round. It is a recording of the saved shot. I can assure all of you that there is nothing untoward going on here.

Didn't doubt that Rick..just very odd. Must say I've never checked any of my shots so wouldn't know what shot it said.
