Jordan Spieth’s run at the Genesis Invitational came to an end in quite the unexpected way.

The three-time major winner was disqualified from the tournament on Friday (Saturday AEDT) after he incorrectly signed a scorecard during the second round.

The issue at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles came on the par-3 fourth hole when he signed for a 3, as the New York Post reports.

The issue was, though, that Spieth actually had finished the hole with four shots.

Spieth acknowledged the mistake on social media.

“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,” Spieth wrote on Instagram.
