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.

The PGA TOUR caught wind of An's complaints and reached out to him acknowledging the problem.

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.
