Sam Bairstow, 27, 27, quit the match after the first round in mysterious circumstances at the DP World Tour Nexo Championship in Scotland. Bairstow signed a five-shot 14-hole five on the old Trump International Golf course, and he actually scored seven.
Scoring errors in the game's highest rankings are unusual, although certainly not unprecedented. Among the many other treatment examples, Jordan Spieth was awarded from last year’s Genesis Invitational, and after the second round, he signed par on 4, 4, 4, instead of bogey. (“I take full responsibility,” he later tweeted.) According to reports at the time, Beerstot’s miscalculation was caused by a temporary tee he played at the age of 14, but it is unclear what happened.
But on Friday telegraphJames Corrigan casts new lights on Bairstow's strike.
Telephone video shot by fans shows Bellsto standing on a serious pitch, lying on the 14th hole, his ball far exceeds his feet and supports it on the rough roughness. As Bairstow was ready to kick the ball, his ball moved explicitly, falling into a worse lie in the long grass.
Given that Beerstot's move seemed to cause the ball to move, he should have replaced the ball in his original resting position and received a shot according to the rules of golf. He didn't. He played from the ball's new resting place and made it to his opinion as a bogey 5.
According to Corrigan, fans shared a video of Bairstow with DP Tour officials, who asked Bairstow about the incident after his round of the game. Currigan reported that Bellsto ranks 210th in the world, first denied any misconduct, but when the video appeared, he defaulted on the video, and later dq'eed for.
This may be the end of the story, but it is not, because, Corrigan reports, the video began to circulate between players and caddies, who were impressed by Bairstow's seemingly intentional neglect of the rules.
Anxiety sparked a hearing on the DP World Tour, which said in a statement that Beersto “violated the DP World Tour's code of conduct and formulated accordingly. Players have a scrutiny on sanctions.”
The trip did not disclose sanctions, but Corrigan reported that Beersto was fined 25,000 euros.
