PGA Tour's Byeong Hun An is currently playing in the ongoing WM Phoenix Open at the TPC Scottsdale. This event is Hun An's fourth tournament of the 2025 season, and it seems like he has already discovered a unique 'allergy' that is holding him back at The People's Open.

On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the South Korean professional golfer wrote a hilarious post that drew quite a reaction from his fans. Hun An wrote that he developed an allergy to making putts within a certain distance. The 2-time European Tour winner wrote:

"I found out today that im allergic to making putts inside 15ft."

Byeong Hun An followed his post with another tweet in which he mentioned he should have known about the allergy. Hun An wrote:

"I should have known from previous occasions but it’s confirmed"

A user replied to Byeong Hun An and jokingly said his golf ball is afraid of the dark. The user suggested the South Korean golfer must let his golf balls sleep outside the box before Round 3 of the WM Phoenix Open. Out of all the reactions to his post, Hun An quote-tweeted this post and agreed with the user.

Almost a day after his post in which he revealed his allergy, Hun An wrote another comical post targeting his followers. The golfer wrote:

"It looks like many of you guys share the same symptoms. Let’s stay strong boys 💙"

Byeong Hun An's tweet comes after he missed a putt within 15 feet on hole 16 during Round 2. As of this writing, Hun An is playing in Round 3 of the WM Phoenix Open. Currently, he is through 16 holes at the TPC Scottsdale and is 6-over par, taking his overall score to +2.
