Edoardo Molinari got disqualified from the European Tour’s Shenzhen International in China on Friday. But it wasn’t really his fault.
Molinari’s caddie apparently hitched a ride between the ninth and 10th holes, which is a penalty for the player. (You’ve got to walk, buddy.) Unfortunately, Molinari didn’t see it.
The Italian should have called a two-stroke penalty on himself, turning his 75 into a 77. However, he signed for 75, which meant he was disqualified for signing for an incorrect score less than his actual score.
The caddie was trying to adhere to the basic looper code of “Show up, keep up and shut up,” but, in doing so, it led to a mess up.
