Seve Ballesteros faced disqualification from the 2002 Irish Open

Seve Ballesteros was disqualified from the 2002 Irish Open after submitting an incorrect scorecard during his opening round. The European golfer struggled on the 18th hole at Fota Island, finishing with a 12. He miscounted his strokes on that hole and recorded a 10 on his official scorecard. Tournament officials disqualified him after he signed and submitted the card. This incident marked an unceremonious exit for the three-time tournament winner who previously held the record for most Irish Open titles. Ballesteros later issued an apology for the error and expressed regret over the way his appearance at the event concluded.
