During the U.S. Senior Open, Padraig Harrington confronted NBC reporter Roger Maltbie over his failure to assist in finding a lost ball after Harrington's tee shot went into a thicket on hole 15. Despite a dozen spectators searching for the ball for three minutes, Maltbie could not help due to his reporting duties. Both Harrington and Maltbie later discussed their disagreement, highlighting the tension between professional obligation and sportsmanship in golf, especially in competitive situations.
