PGA Tour rookie Michael Brennan was disqualified after the first round of the Farmers Insurance Open for using non-permitted green-reading materials. The 23-year-old shot a two-under 70 on Torrey Pines' North Course before the breach of Model Local Rule G-11 was discovered. This marks a setback for the recent winner of his professional debut.
A golfer questioned whether free relief applies from a man-made object when the ball lies in the rough near the green.
