Pro DISQUALIFIED from US PGA for signing wrong score

When you’re a tour pro, there’s never a good week to sign for an incorrect score. But doing it during a major? That’s just brutal, as Cameron Tringale is discovering today.

The 32-year-old American is out of this week’s US PGA Championship after making a scorecard error following his second round at TPC Harding Park. 

According to a PGA of America statement, Tringale signed for a score lower than actually scored on the eighth.
