I'm hearing that a Stadler (Craig or Kevin) was DQ recently for having a "non-conformaing" driver which I understand was bent. Can't find a thing on it anywhere. The only DQ on Craig that I remember was his "building a stance" issue some years ago.

Can anyone enlighten me or tell me if I'm losing my mind?

Google Kevin Stadler bent wedge

Quote:

First TOUR ace came on No. 14 at the TPC Summerlin in the first round of the Michelin Championship at Las Vegas. Tied for fifth, three off the lead entering the final round, but was disqualified (Rule 4-1/1) for having a non-conforming club (shaft in wedge was bent) in his bag.

KEVIN STADLER: It's hard to say. I played well a couple of times toward the end of the year where a good finish would probably have got me up there. Three or four events left in Las Vegas I got DQ'd in the final round, I think I was 22nd or 23rd, but that was obviously costly. That was looking to be a good opportunity for me, a good paycheck towards keeping my card there.

Q.: What happened?

KEVIN STADLER: I had a bend in my lob wedge that I had no idea where it came from. I guess I got DQ'd for having an unconforming golf club at the start of the round, I have no idea where it came from or how it happened. I didn't feel like I did anything to it, it was kind of baffling.
