Frenchman Clement Berardo lost all of his golf balls in 16 holes during the Andalucía-Costa del Sol Match Play 9
Challenge Tour Player Disqualified After Running Out Of Golf Balls
Clement Berardo was disqualified from this week's event on the Challenge Tour for running out of golf balls.
The Frenchman was playing in the Andalucía-Costa del Sol Match Play 9 near Malaga and had to walk off on the 16th hole after losing his final golf ball.
It didn't get any better for him, as two bogeys at 6 and 8 were compounded by a double-bogey at the par-5 10th.
Similar scenes could have happened at Pebble Beach in 2000 when Tiger Woods teed it up on the 18th hole in the third round and lost a ball in the water left.
That meant that he only had one golf ball left in his bag, which caddie Steve Williams knew but Tiger didn't.
It happened because Woods had taken some balls up to his hotel room to practise his putting after play was suspended due to bad weather.
He forgot to replace the balls, but luckily had just enough to finish his third round before going on to win by 15 strokes the next day.
