Steele's finish wasn't the only oddity at Riviera on Friday. Chris DiMarco was disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard. He shot a 77, but signed for a 75. A 2-stroke addition error.

I commented:

You can’t be DQed for failing to add up your card properly. You can write 24 or 34,932 in the “total” spot on your card – it’s irrelevant.

He had to have written an individual hole score down properly. The Committee is responsible for the addition.

Just thought I'd share. I get the impression that a lot of people are unaware of this.

DiMarco's tweet :

The reason I signed a wrong scorecard was because I had just missed the cut and just signed my card without checking it. I was frustrated.
