Marcel Siem disqualified himself from the Open de France after racking up several penalty strokes during Thursday’s opening round.
The 2012 champion was under the impression that preferred lies were in place during the first round, which was not the case, and the German amassed a total of 10 penalty strokes after moving his ball in the fairway five times.
With his European Tour card in danger, Siem was in need of a good week in France, but as he explained on his Facebook page after exiting the event, his attention will now turn to Q-School in November.
Siem was nine holes into the event when he decided to disqualify himself.
