Shocking Disqualification: Pro Golfer Adam Schenk’s Unusual Mistake at the Barbasol Championship

Pro DQs from PGA Tour event in unusual fashion

In a surprising turn of events at the PGA Tour’s Barbasol Championship on Friday, professional golfer Adam Schenk found himself disqualified after incurring a two-stroke penalty for playing from the wrong spot.

While navigating the 10th hole, Schenk’s tee shot veered into a hazard. After taking what he thought was an appropriate drop, he proceeded to play his next shot from the rough. It wasn’t until later that he realized his mistake—he had dropped in an incorrect location and should have played directly from the hazard.

His playing partner, Ryan Moore, alerted a rules official to the situation, leading to Schenk’s disqualification.

Surprising rules gaffe leads to disqualification at Women’s British Open

A surprising rules infringement at the Women’s British Open led to the disqualification of South Korean player Hye-Jin Choi. Choi, who was tied for the lead after the first round, was penalized two strokes for playing the wrong ball on the 17th hole. The error occurred when Choi’s ball came to rest near a water hazard and she incorrectly played a provisional ball. When her original ball was found, she picked it up and played it, unaware that she had picked up the wrong ball. The penalty strokes proved costly, as Choi missed the cut by one stroke. The incident highlights the importance of players being aware of the rules and the consequences of violating them.
