Wow: Blayne Barber DQ's Self Out Of Q-School Six Days Later

Sean Martin with the amazing story of Blayne Barber making it through the first stage at Callaway Gardens with a one-shot penalty that should have been two, and calling the PGA Tour six days later.

The call resulted in six players advancing to the second stage who otherwise were out.

Barber played the final two rounds because his caddie was certain the leaf hadn’t moved. “I continued to pray about it and think about it, and I just did not have any peace about it,” Barber said. “I knew I needed to do the right thing. I knew it was going to be disqualification.”

Barber called the PGA Tour on Nov. 2, six days after the tournament ended, to report that he had signed an incorrect scorecard. His disqualification moved the six players who had tied for 19th into a tie for 18th. The top 18 and ties at Callaway Gardens were slated to advance to Q-School's second stage.

“I just feel peace about it,” Barber said. “Doing the right thing and doing what I know is right in my heart and in my conscience is more important than short-term success.”
