The number one ranked player in the world, Luke Donald, had a brush with a disqualification after the first round of the Masters.
Donald, who signed a score card stating he had shot a 73 instead of what he thought he shot, a 75. Would have been disqualified from the event, if he had signed for an incorrect score.
Over the next 30 minutes or so around Augusta National; as well as the social media sphere, the suspense and wonder built on what would become of this.
Fans looking on via the Internet, saw different scores for Donald. Which all seemed to center around No. 5.
On The Masters site, it said Donald scored a three on the hole.
On the PGA Tour website, it said he scored a five on the hole.
Donald himself recalled three putting that green. Making it nearly impossible to have carded a three on that hole.
Though it's the first major of the 2012 PGA Tour season. Some golfers are still fighting off injuries this week at Augusta National.
Two players, Jason Day and Sergio Garcia, both have minor injuries heading into round one on Thursday.
Australia's Day, is trying to shake off a left ankle injury that he sustained a week ago. He is currently receiving treatments to make sure he is as fit as possible when the tournament begins.
“It’s nothing big and, at this stage, I intend to play,” Day said in an Australian Associated Press interview. “There was discomfort but it would take a lot for me to miss a Masters.”
Garcia, is fighting off an infected middle finger on his left hand.
If this sounds familiar with him, it is. It's the same finger that plagued him in 2011, at the Open Championship qualifier in Dallas, TX.
