Brooks Koepka had to take a penalty drop after seeing a tee shot bounce off a chair and into the hazard at Quail Hollow

Brooks Koepka saw his ball find the hazard in the unlikeliest fashion on his way to an opening-round 72 at the Wells Fargo Championship.

The US Open champion sits seven strokes off early lead John Peterson at Quail Hollow after suffering a frustrating finish to an up-and-down display in North Carolina.

Koepka was two over with six holes to play but then birdied his next three holes along the back nine, only to three-putt the 17th and get in to further trouble at the par-four last.

The American pulled his tee shot way left and saw his ball take a couple pf bounces in the rough, only to take a big hop off an empty chair and roll into the hazard.
