03.09: Diskvalifikasjonen til Mark Roe og Jesper Parnevik i The Open:
Her er forklaringen
Mange mente at man kunne
brukt "in exeptional
individual cases"-paragrafen.
I norsk presse har det vært
liten oppmerksomhet rundt
denne diskvalifikasjonen i
årets utgaver av The Open i
midten av juli.
Internasjonalt har det
vært et stort tema. Høyst
sannsynlig vil det komme
endringer i reglene på
tour'ene etter det som
skjede.
Her er hva den offisielle
web-siden for The Open sier
om saken:
Facts behind
controversial Open
disqualification
The disqualification of Mark
Roe and Jesper Parnevik
after the third round of the
Open Championship at Royal
St George's has led to much
comment and debate and many
enquiries to the Rules
Department of the R&A.
The facts of the case are
that both players were
handed their own score cards
on the first tee by the
starter in accordance with
custom and practice at The
Open Championship and
consistent with the practice
on the PGA European Tour.
Unfortunately, the players
failed to exchange score
cards. This resulted in each
player writing the other's
score on his own card. After
completing their rounds, the
players checked the scores
they had recorded, signed
the score cards, returned
them and left the recorders
area.
Rule 6-6d in the Rules of
Golf provides that a player
is responsible for the
correctness of the score
recorded for each hole on
his score card. If he
returns a score for a hole
that is lower than actually
taken, he is disqualified.
Due to the players failing
to exchange cards, each
player recorded and signed
for at least one score for a
hole that was lower than
actually taken. As a
consequence, both players
were disqualified.
Decision 6-6d/4, taken from
the 2002-2003 edition of
Decisions on the Rules of
Golf, covers an analogous
situation which serves as
clear precedent for such a
case and the penalty of
disqualification is not in
doubt.
Although Rule 33-7 enables a
committee to waive, modify
or impose a penalty of
disqualification "in
exceptional individual
cases", the case of Parnevik
and Roe was not exceptional
from a Rules of Golf
perspective and is
specifically covered by Rule
6-6d. Therefore, the
Championship Committee had
no option but to apply the
Rule and disqualify the
players concerned.
It is very unfortunate that
such an incident should
arise during the third round
of The Open Championship,
especially for Mark Roe who
had played so well that day.
As stated in the immediate
aftermath of the incident,
the R&A regrets that human
error by the recorders in
implementing the set
recording procedures
resulted in the players'
error going undetected.
However, it is important to
understand that these
checking procedures are
there to try to assist the
players and do not relieve
them of any of their
responsibilities.
The Rules are clear in
providing that the player is
responsible for the
correctness of the score
recorded for each hole and
it is a basic principle of
the game that the signing
and returning of the score
card is the means by which
the player attests his score
for each hole.

Decisions on the Rules of
Golf can be viewed on the

opengolf home page.
Fire startider etter at de
to var diskvalifisert, kom
Stuart Appleby og hans
spillepartner inn for å
levere scorekortene sine.
Disse to hadde gjort akkurat
samme feil som Roe og
Parnevik. Nå hadde
imidlertid de som tok i mot
scorekortene "våknet", og
feilen ble rettet før de to
forlot lokalet. Mange har
ment at man kunne bruke "inexeptional
individual cases"-paragrafen,
men det mente altså ikke
komiteen.
