Rule of the Day

6-6b/6 Marker Disappears with Competitor's Score Card

Q:
In a stroke-play event, competitors were instructed to return their score cards at the scoreboard. Unbeknownst to a competitor, his marker leaves the course hastily at the end of the round and does not report to the scoreboard. He takes the competitor's score card with him. What should the Committee do?

A:
The Committee should make every effort to reach the marker. If unsuccessful, the Committee should accept certification of the score by someone else who witnessed the round, perhaps the marker's caddie or the competitor's caddie. If no one other than the marker witnessed the round, the score should be accepted without attestation by a marker.

golf-history 1960 Arnold Palmer wins U.S. Open

Jun 18

<br/><br/>Trailing by Mike Souchak by seven strokes entering the final round at the 1960 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills Country Club, Arnold Palmer birdied six of his first seven holes to post 30 on the outward nine and win his third major championship. Palmer, already gaining a reputation for final-round charges after birdieing the 71st and 72nd holes to win The Masters Tournament earlier in the year, drove the green on the par-4 first hole at Cherry Hills en route to a closing 65. Palmer won by two over a 20-year-old Jack Nicklaus, who recorded the lowest 72-hole score for an amateur in U.S. Open history.
