Sergio Garcia disqualified

Does a player also have access to the data recorded by the group's official scorer? If not, I would submit that they should be able to review, side by side the manual recordings of the playing partner and the electronic record by the official scorer.

Yes, and many of them will also check their card against what the offical scorer (who walks along with them) has.

That said, it is pretty hard to imagine that a professional doesn't remember what he scored on a hole played no longer than about 5 hours ago in a professional event.

Well, it wasn't because he forgot...

Thanks for the reply, Erik. It really highlights what Sergio's "mistake" really was.

The way I understand it, if Sergio hadn't left the Scoring Area before the discrepancy was found he would have had an opportunity to change it. If this is the case, one could probably submit their card then wait to make sure it matches the official scorer's scores before leaving, just to be sure.

Ironically, he is paired with Boo the first two days in The Deutsche Bank Championship.
