Former European number one RonanRafferty's season hit a new low on Thursday when the Irishman was disqualified from the Scottish PGA Championship.
However, after running up three bogeys, Rafferty nosedived to what he thought was a double-bogey seven on the long 16th after he tangled with a bunker, hitting his ball into an unplayable lie in the face of it.
Rafferty took a penalty drop, and when his ball rolled down the face into the bottom of the bunker for a second time, he played the ball from where it came to rest.
