Jordan Spieth has been disqualified at the Genesis Invitational in Pacific Palisades, California.
Spieth, after shooting a 2-over 73 on Friday, was DQ’d after he signed an incorrect scorecard.
Spieth signed for a 3 after making a 4 on the 245-yard, par-3 fourth hole. He hit his tee shot into the left rough, chipped to within four feet and then missed the par putt.
Spieth finished 3 under after making a double bogey at 18. He was well within the cut line at the time, which is at 1 over.
The Texan opened the PGA Tour’s third signature event of the year with a 5-under 66 on Thursday, placing himself firmly in the mix.
Shortly after the DQ, Spieth posted a message on social media, saying “I take full responsibility.”
Today, I signed for an incorrect scorecard and stepped out of the scoring area, after thinking I went through all procedures to make sure it was correct. Rules are rules, and I take full responsibility. I love this tournament and golf course as much as any on @PGATOUR so it hurts…
