In a bizzare turn of events, Gaurav Ghei’s Johnnie Walker Classic campaign ended in heartbreak after the veteran Indian pro was disqualified for moving the ball during the second round of the USD 2.5 million event here.
The incident occurred on Friday at the 18th hole when the ball moved because of Ghei putting his club behind the ball to assess the lie after having taken a relief from the cart path. “... it was just before the chip shot on to the 18th green,” Paramor said. A dejected Ghei, who had climbed to tied third on the leaderboard, left the DLF course immediately after being broken the news.
“It’s deeply disappointing and it’s a shame that all the people around and the referee did not spot the incident near the 18th hole,” he said in a brief statement.
