"I take full responsibility"- Jordan Spieth after getting disqualified from The Genesis Invitational 2024
Spieth played a round of 73 on Friday. He carded four birdies, four bogeys, and one double bogey to score a 2-over par 73. However, he signed for one lower score, which resulted in his disqualification.
Following his DQ, Spieth acknowledged his mistake in signing the wrong scorecard and expressed his disappointment. On his X (formerly Twitter) account, he posted:
"Today, I signed for an incorrect scorecard and stepped out of the scoring area, after thinking I went through all procedures to make sure it was correct. Rules are rules, and I take full responsibility. I love this tournament and golf course as much as any on @PGATOUR so it hurts to not have a run at the weekend. Really appreciated the support in LA @thegenesisinv @thegenesisinv."
Besides Jordan Spieth, Tiger Woods also returned home on Friday. He withdrew from the competition due to illness.
Woods returned to compete in the game after two months but had a back spasm during the first round of the tournament. He admitted that he found it difficult to rotate his back on Thursday, February 15. However, he still competed in the second round and after playing six holes, Woods withdrew from the competition.
Meanwhile, 51 golfers made the cut following the 36 holes on Friday and will compete in the last two rounds. Patrick Cantlay topped the leaderboard at the end of the second round with a score of 13-under, maintaining a five-stroke lead over Jason Day, Luke List, and Mackenzie Hughes.
Rory McIlroy, who struggled in the opening round, shot 66 on Friday and jumped 33 positions in the leaderboard to settle in a tie for 31st place. While most of the top-ranked golfers qualified to play on the weekend, Justin Thomas, Matt Fitzpatrick, Keegan Bradley, and Nick Dunlap failed to make the cut.
