Scorecard blunder is costly for Warren

Just three days after England’s Robert Rock was disqualified from the 3 Irish Open for a scorecard blunder, Scotland’s Marc Warren did the same thing at Killarney today.

As with Rock – joint leader at the time – Warren did not see that playing partner Mark Foster had put him down for a birdie three at the 13th and par four on the next instead of the other way round.

At least the former World Cup winner was not on the leaderboard at the time. He had scored a closing 70 for two under and was not in the top 30, but it still cost him nearly €24,000.
