DP World Tour pro Callum Hill was disqualified from the inaugural Nexo Championship.<\/p>\n
Scotland’s Hill endured a torrid afternoon on Friday at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old was up against it in a battle to make the cut after carding a four-over 76 in round one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He started the second round on the back nine and, by the time he reached the par-4 eighth, his score hadn’t changed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shot tracking shows Hill had found fairway with his tee shot but sent his approach 30 yards long of the green.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He chipped on to eight feet but missed the par putt and, after two more failed attempts, decided to pick up his ball and walk off the course.<\/p>\n
Hill not the only DQ at the Nexo Championship<\/p>\n
Hill’s disqualification came 24 hours after England’s Sam Bairstow was also booted out of the tournament after signing for a wrong score. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old thought he carded an opening one-over 73, but later realised that it should’ve been a 75 following a mix-up on the 14th.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bairstow hit a wild tee shot left and was forced to hit a provisional.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn’t find his first and went on to make what he thought was just a bogey.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The mistake will have likely enraged Bairstow, given he had played the previous 13 holes in three-under.<\/p>\n
Bairstow went on play his final four holes in two-over.<\/p>\n
The DQ will sting even more for Bairstow given he is currently 54th in the Race to Dubai Rankings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only the top 70 players reach the ABU Dhabi HSBC Championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the conclusion of that tournament, only the top 50 will compete in the season-ending DP World Tour Championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Masters champ Rory McIlroy<\/a> clinched his sixth Race to Dubai title last November.\u00a0<\/p>\n Molinari’s nightmare<\/p>\n
