Sydney-based tour pro John Lyras has seen his Korn Ferry Tour debut cut short today in the worst fashion possible way: a rules-based disqualification after an error on the first hole of the Bahamas Great Exuma Classic.
A tournament memo to players alerted them that there would be three indoor hitting bays and three other nets and that a “range is not available on-site” at the Taiwan Glass Taifong Open.
Some have called this a savvy PR ploy by Mickelson to get back in golf’s good graces. Maybe it is, but if that’s the case he went above and beyond the call of duty and made a tangible difference in one hopeful pro’s life.
While it’s not too surprising to see a guy who has won at the highest level winning at the, well, not highest level, the way he earned this victory was downright spectacular.
