Several golf enthusiasts on social media called CNN out this weekend on a double bogey during its coverage of the Masters at Augusta, GA.
The Twitter account @wooTracker noticed that CNN used a photo of South Korean golfer Sungjae Im when covering a story about Si Woo Kim.
The tweet from @WooTracker was picked up by the media blog, Mediaite.
The @sungjaeTracker also had fun with the mix up.
