Whilst looking through the latest event on the European tour to see how my Fantasy team is doing, I do scroll down the leader board to the bottom to see who had a bad day. And then I come across Mr Huang. In the first round he shot 97 (yes 97), including a 9 on a par 3 (yes a 9) and was then disqualified - great day he had! He hit no fairways off the tee, hit no greens in regulation but his short game must be not bad having scrambled for 7 pars. Does make me wonder though, what criteria does a player have to have in order to enter a European tour event?

Why was he disqualified?
 
If you search his history, it isnt great but he has had several sub 70 rounds so cant be completely awful. Must have the yips, chipping yips, shanks and hooking it off the tee, soon sorted mind.
