Clark shoots 80, signs for 79 and is disqualified at The Players

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Wyndham Clark was disqualified after the opening round of The Players Championship for signing for an incorrect scorecard.

Clark was near the bottom of the standings at TPC Sawgrass after shooting a 7-over 79, but it should have been an 80. According to PGA Tour officials, he made a bogey on the par-4 fourth hole but instead signed for a par, leading to his disqualification. His struggles included seven other bogeys and a double bogey on No. 16.

Ranked 240th in the world, Clark was the last player to gain entry into this week’s field.
