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.
This incident marks a rare occurrence; it’s the first time since 2013 that a player has faced disqualification in a PGA Tour event for such an infraction
Why there’s less ‘bravado’ in pro golf today, according to Brandel Chamblee
Brandel Chamblee commented on the less “bravado” in professional golf today. With many older players retiring, the scene is changing with young players such as Scottie Scheffler emerging. Chamblee noted that these younger players have less cocksure attitudes both on and off the course. They are more serious about improving their skills, are more respectful of their peers, and are more focused on building a lasting legacy. According to Chamblee, this shift is due to the new generation’s upbringing, social media, and increased competition.
Ortiz wins in Houston for first LIV Golf title
Abraham Ancer birdied the second hole of a four-man playoff to win the LIV Golf Houston tournament on Sunday, securing his first title on the breakaway circuit.
Ancer holed a 12-foot putt to defeat Carlos Ortiz, Phachara Khongwatmai, and Talor Gooch, who were tied after regulation.
The victory is a breakthrough for Ancer, who has been one of the most consistent players on the LIV Golf tour this season. The 32-year-old Mexican has now finished in the top 10 in all five of the LIV Golf events he has played in this year.
Ancer’s win also gives LIV Golf its first Mexican champion. The tour has been criticized for its lack of diversity, but Ancer’s victory is a step in the right direction.
With LIV talks slowing, PGA Tour’s Dunne resigns
The PGA Tour’s executive vice president and chief of operations Andy Pazder has announced that Chief Tour Operations Officer Tyler Dunne will resign from his position on 30th June. Dunne’s departure comes amidst stalled talks between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed golf series that has lured several high-profile players away from the PGA Tour.
Dunne had been with the PGA Tour for 12 years, overseeing tournament operations, player services, and international development. His resignation has fueled speculation that the PGA Tour may be preparing for a more aggressive strategy in countering LIV Golf. Pazder stated that the search for Dunne’s replacement would begin immediately.
