Cole Hammer was never disqualified by the tournament in his life.
Until Friday, that is, when the 25-year-old Korn Ferry Tour Pro called what completed the rules of violation in itself during this week of Memorial Health in Springfield, Illinois. The hammer on the rules of officials eventually resulted in a toy hammer and hammer, Nelson and Ladesma and Ladesma Cadrdes, Nico Torres, forbids to give or seek advice from anyone but their bathtub.
The incident occurred in the first round on Thursday at a PAR-3 17. Hole in the village club Panther Creek. The hammer just hit green on the green on a hole of 232 yards and watched the ball still on the move when he started walking toward his bag. Then, according to the hammer, crosses the trails with Torres, who then flashed four fingers, universal signal for “, 4-iron?”
“He went out of instinct, I blinked and” 4 “, the hammer said Golfchannel.com by phone on Friday afternoon. “It was a thing in the moment, and I didn’t think about it until after that.”
That evening, the hammer appeared on several peers for his opinion. He feels the most as if he was in clear. After all, the rule against the advice is often broken in professional golf, and usually without penalty. When bastards for Brooks Coepka and Gary Woodland took over the injury rule during 2023 officers who were not golf officers, “This is the usual practice among players.” Blatant. “
One famous PGA tour Veteran even a textbook hammer on Thursday evening, basically, basically, It happens every day on tour.
But even then, the hammer was not sure that he could simply discover it.
“I feel like I really know the rules, and I always tried to support them in the best of possibility,” Hammer said. “He just didn’t sit with me last night, and when I woke up this morning, I felt forced to talk to the official rules and tell him what happened.”
Hammer requested the KFT rules of the Official Claudio Rivas, which was a hammer, said to return with him after the collection of more facts and meetings with the Jordan Harris and USG Representative. The hammer was shared with the waterfront that he also did not know if Torres even saw his hand signal. The hammer added that he did not warn the lades or Torres at the time because he did not want to cause unnecessary concern if he finished not offending.
“I didn’t think he was going to be disqualified,” Hammer said. “I just thought since I was the one who gave a sign to be disqualified. And I thought it was the worst scenario.”
Rule 10.2a fully states: During the circle, you must not: 1. Give advice to everyone in the competition that plays on the course; 2. Ask anyone for advice except your Caddy; 3. Tap other player equipment to find out information that would be advice if they gave or ask another player.
The penalty is usually the general punishment of the two moves, but because the hammer and grazes have already signed their results – 69 hammer for 73 – were subject to disqualification in accordance with Rule 3.3.
It took a few hours for the final decision to be made, with disqualification, no hammer and ice casuals were six holes in their second round. The hammer made a throw to 1 underneath the ice as Ledesma was still 2 for the tournament; The cut line is currently being projected in 4 below.
The Korn Ferry Tour confirmed the reason for disqualification, but did not give further details.
Ledesma’s response to Golfchannel.com, which was then translated into English: “The decision was made correct, according to the rules. Besides, besides, that says a little English, that Torres” shocked with the situation “, but accepted the mistake.
“Now I feel much better when I at least realized him from my chest because he weighed me,” Hammer said. “It’s just unhappy that it caused a small storm around the tournament.”
As for the hammer, he entered the week 73 in points. His T-23 last week in Wichita, Kansas, broke down six straight omissions. Ledesma, 34, is no. 102 in points.
“This is something that is so abnormally experienced on the tournament, so I will almost just have to throw him as if nothing had happened,” said hammer. “It’s an experience of learning, and I think I’m in a better main space I’m calling on myself. If nothing I can play with a clean slate and I hope I hope and finding the show I had in Wichita.
“Lots of events left and I felt like I was doing the right thing and protecting the game would take me better for a long time.”
