Marcus Meloan made a five-figure mistake Saturday at the U.S. Senior Open.
The 56-year-old qualifier from San Diego was disqualified after he missed his restart time following a weather delay at Omaha Country Club.
USGA rules official Ben Schade told Golf Channel that Meloan, who was just seven shots off lead at the time, was five minutes late returning from a three-hour suspension of play, a violation of Rule 5.7c, which states: You must resume play at the time set by the Committee and from where you stopped play on a hole or, if between two holes, at your next teeing area, even if play is resumed on a later day.
