While Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, allowed him to play with a penalty, fans criticized Kwon for being unprofessional. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"3\"\/>Soon after, a 2019 NBC Sports article about his college golf days at the University of Oklahoma resurfaced online, revealing that Kwon had struggled with lateness and discipline issues in the past. The story, shared by Tee Times (@TeeTimesPub), showed that Kwon almost got kicked off the Oklahoma Sooners golf team because he often missed workouts and classes.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/><\/p>\n<p><b><\/p>\n<h2>Luke Kwon\u2019s old NBC Sports story shows past struggles with being on time<\/h2>\n<p><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>After Kwon missed his tee time at the Internet Invitational, golf fans on social media began sharing a 2019 NBC Sports article about his college career.

One user wrote, \u201cHe\u2019s a Sooner. Makes total sense now,\u201d while another joked, \u201cIronically, he was a\u2026 sooner.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Luke Kwon responds to backlash after Internet Invitational mix-up<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>After the backlash, Luke Kwon posted a message on his Instagram Stories, saying it was an honest mistake. He wrote:<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>\u201cJust woke up what\u2019d I miss.
