It’s never over until it’s over is a cliché that took on new meaning this past week at a mini-tour event in England when the apparent winner had his title taken away.
Family, friends and fans of John Catlin, currently 85th in the Official World Golf Ranking and a three-time winner on the European Tour in the last eight months, may have a new foe.
The tournament announced the decision after the rules committee reviewed video evidence, and after Ancer signed his scorecard and exited the scoring area.
We’ve all done it before. Your ball is on the green, and you pick it up without marking it first. It’s one of the more common rules breaches in amateur golf.
