JORDAN FINDLAY DISQUALIFIED OVER SCORECARD SLIP
Former British boys champion Jordan Findlay from Fraserburgh, a second-year student at East Tennessee State University, disqualified himself as an individual from the remaining two rounds of the Seminole Invitational men's college tournament at Golden Eagle Country Club in Tallahassee, Florida.
Findlay signed a scorecard for a first-round score of 83 which was posted on the official scoreboard and appeared on the GolfStat website service.
Jordan realised later that he had signed for a wrong score, obviously a lower one than he actually had, and went back to the officials to bring his mistake to their attention, knowing that it would mean instant disqualification.
He can continue playing in the tournament but his scores, hopefully, will only count for the East Tennessee State University team total (best four from five count daily). His second and third-round scores cannot count for himself as a disqualified individual.
