The South Korean was notified after completing his second round
YE Yang Disqualified From PGA Championship
Former champion YE Yang has been disqualified from this year’s PGA Championship after signing for an incorrect score.
After posting a respectable 75 on day one, the South Korean struggled on Friday, eventually signing for an 83. At 14-over, it looked like Yang would register his fifth consecutive missed cut at this tournament and be on his merry way.
However, a missed cut became a DQ when the 49-year-old signed for a four on the par-4 10th rather than the five he actually made. Quite bizarre when you consider his card was littered with two 9s and a 7 as he, like many, struggled to cope with the rigorous demands of The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island.
The rule in breach is 3.3b, which covers scoring in strokeplay competitions.
It states that: “If your returned score for a hole is lower than your actual score or no score is returned for a hole, you are disqualified.”
