South African Lee-Anne Pace was disqualified during the second round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship Friday due to a rules infraction. In a statement, the LPGA said Pace was in breach of Rule 4-3b, which centers on a club being damaged outside the normal routine of play. Pace slammed her sand wedge into a stake after a shot on hole No. 8. She did not realize she had damaged the club, before using the damaged club again for another shot on the same hole. She then used the same club on No. 14 before she realized it had been damaged. She called for an official, an LPGA release said, and was given the option of continuing play and letting the committee have a look at the club, but declined because
Former NFL running back Danny Woodhead advanced through U.S. Open Local Qualifying on Wednesday, carding even-par 71 at Omaha CC to earn one of five Sectional Qualifying berths available via the site. Woodhead, who played 10 NFL seasons from 2008 to 2017, finished in a two-way T3 to finish one stroke clear of a playoff. The Nebraska native, 37, made four birdies against four bogeys on the 6,915-yard layout, which also hosted last year’s U.S. Senior Open. Woodhead played for the New York Jets, New England Patriots, San Diego Chargers and Baltimore Ravens across his NFL career. He was undrafted out of Chadron State but proved his mettle as a resourceful offensive weapon, accumulating 4,936 yards and 32 touchdowns. Joining Woodhead in advancing from the Omaha qualifier, conducted by the Nebraska Golf Association, were Corbin Mills, Connor Peck, Carson Schaake and Alex Schaake. Local Qualifying for the U.S. Open is being contested across 109 qualifying sites between April 25 and May 23. Those who advance through Local Qualifying will compete in Final Qualifying, contested across 11 sites – two on May 23, nine on June 6. The 122nd U.S. Open will be held at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, June 16-19. Since retiring from professional football, Woodhead has committed substantial energy to golf, self-described as obsessed with the game. He also successfully qualified for the 2021 U.S. Amateur Four-Ball at Chambers Bay, paired alongside fellow Omaha CC member Michael Wilhelm. “It was definitely a goal of mine to get to a USGA Championship,” Woodhead told USGA’s Golf Journal in 2021. He’ll now have a chance to compete in a second.
