Robert Rock dismayed by scoring blunder

Friday, 30 July 2010

English golfer Robert Rock has admitted to being frustrated after a marking error resulted in his disqualification from the Irish Open.

The Staffordshire-born player was thrown out of the tournament by stewards at the Killarney golf course after it emerged that his card indicated a par at the 14th and a birdie at the 15th, when it should have been the other way around.
