3. Simon Dyson – 2013 Shanghai Masters             

Playing in Shanghai at the BMW Masters, Dyson tapped down a spike mark on his line, forgetting one of golf’s simplest rules. A disciplinary panel found Dyson’s actions were deliberate and, as a result, he received a two-month suspension and £30,000 fine in what he described as the ‘lowest point of my career’. “There was no intent whatsoever,” said Dyson. “I’ve never done it in the past and I’ll never do it in the future.”
