Byeong Hun An vents about another early tee time, TOUR admits error
(Warning: Story contains coarse language)
Byeong Hun An was not impressed when a Twitter follower pointed out that he was slotted in for another 6:45 a.m. ET tee time Thursday at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
"You've got to be asking for them at this point," the follower tweeted, according to Golf Digest's Joel Beall.
It will mark the fourth time the South Korean leads off a tournament in his past eight events.
"Never asked for it and I f------ hate it," An responded.
An deleted that tweet but followed up with a few gems.
I may look like bitching but no one can criticize me unless they like waking up at 3:45.....π

The PGA TOUR caught wind of An's complaints and reached out to him acknowledging the problem.
Good news guys, Tour looked into the tee times, and they realized teeing off first 4 out of last 8 events were not right ππ sometimes you need make a point π€·ββοΈ

One Twitter account came to An's defense by calculating the 29-year-old's scoring average based on tee-time wave for the season. His average with a morning tee time in Round 1 is 72.69 compared to 70.9 in the afternoon.
Despite the TOUR admitting its mistake, An will still kick off the tournament at Detroit Golf Club alongside Doc Redman and Brandon Hagy.
Alright guys iβm done complaining.
