Emilia Migliaccio and Kaitlyn Papp, incorrect scorecard

Nov. 7: After the first round of the Spirit International Amateur Golf Championship at Whispering Pines Golf Club, Emilia Migliaccio and Kaitlyn Papp unknowingly signed an incorrect scorecard, violating Rule 23.2b of the Rules of Golf. The rule, which applies to four-ball stroke play, states the score for the hole must be identified as the score of the correct player. The two golfers were disqualified after realizing they signed for a 2 for Migliaccio when it was actually Papp who recorded birdie on the par-3 third hole.
