Under the new rules which allow certain tour players to escape DQ

[thecraw]

That DQ was one of the biggest travesties going.
OK they didn't swap cards - but they were filmed, watched and they had scorers going round with them all the way. There is no way their scores couldn't be confirmed.
And yet because the numbers were written on the wrong piece of paper they bothe got DQ'd.....

I think they ammended Tournament Rules after this didn't they?
I could be dreaming though....

I fell foul of this rule in a 36 hole competition. I was leader after 18 and came back in after the 2nd round to discover I had been DQ'd from winning the competition (which I didn't win anyway!) however common sense was applied and I still got a handicap reduction!
