Hideki Matsuyama Disqualified From PGA Memorial Over Club Infraction
Japanese star Hideki Matsuyama was disqualified from the PGA Tour's Memorial tournament in bizarre circumstances on Thursday after officials found an illegal substance on his 3-wood. The 2021 Masters champion was given his marching orders after it emerged white correction fluid used to help center the ball was used on the face of the club. The infraction was brought to the attention of rules officials after photos of the doctored club were posted on social media. "Our committee became aware through some pictures that were posted that there may be a substance that has been painted on the face of one of Hideki's clubs," PGA Tour chief referee Steve Rintoul said.
