A poor start by Matsuyama ended after a marking was found on his club.

Though his play through nine holes did not indicate that he was going to be competitive on the weekend, it's still a bummer that Matsuayma was disqualified from the tournament. Matsuyama explained later that the substance applied was for alignment purposes. A bit later in Matsuyama's round, after Rintour conferred with the USGA rules folks, they determined that the club was illegal.

The first round of the Memorial Tournament on Thursday at Muirfield Village picked up where last year left off as far as drama goes. After Jon Rahm had to ...

He's eighth in this field in ball-striking over his last 20 rounds, has elevated his game to a new level this season and is just two back of the lead. Forget the theatrical fireworks from last year for a moment and fixate your eyes on this outrageous stat. But the amount of substance that was up on the face of the club, when we sent it to the USGA, their equipment standards guys, it was just excessive. His strokes gained numbers are off the charts (nobody in this field has been better statistically over their last 20 rounds). If you want to go a little further down the board, Homa at 28-1 is the play. In the last two years, Rahm has nearly doubled the output from the second-best player at Muirfield Village. That's outrageous. This was Spieth's best strokes-gained putting round since ... Round 1 of the Charles Schwab Challenge over a year ago. The strength here is actually mostly at T11 and T21, players that are two and three strokes back respectively and very much in the mix with 54 holes to go. So once the hole started, it got fun to be on greens. After Jon Rahm had to withdraw at the end of the 2021 tournament with a positive COVID-19 test, another star left early on Thursday when Hideki Matsuyama was disqualified for a nonconforming 3-wood. I wrote the full recap here, but some of the quotes are just incredible. The leaders are mostly stout, but this chase pack is definitely to be feared. This is a monstrous tournament to break through in to check off your first PGA Tour win as both are trying to do.

The 2014 Memorial champion was informed on the 10th tee that he had been disqualified. It is Hideki Matsuyama's first DQ during his PGA Tour career.

A whiteout substance that was very much up on the face of the club which, really, it’s very clear in the equipment rules that’s not allowed. But that much substance is clearly above what the equipment rules allow,” Rintoul said. Earlier in the round, Matsuyama had perhaps the day’s biggest highlight. Rintoul regrouped with other rules officials and the DQ came through rule 4.a.(3) of the equipment rules. “It’s very much like a whiteout you might use on a paper. Unfortunately, when we found out about it, Hideki was playing the second hole,” said Steve Rintoul, chief referee of the PGA Tour for the tournament.

'Hideki, are you carrying a [non-conforming] club?' Yes. 'Hideki, have you used the club?' Well, the answer to that was unfortunately yes, he used it off the first tee," Rintoul said. "We had one of our officials talk to Hideki on the second hole. Had Matsuyama just been carrying the club and had not used it, he would have avoided the disqualification.

The Offaly man was one over at the turn but hit four birdies on the back nine, including on 18, to finish three under and in a share of 11th. Rory McIlroy was ...

That's actually the center of the face," Rintoul told reporters. But the amount of substance that was up on the face of the club, when we sent it to the USGA, their equipment standards guys, it was just excessive. PGA Tour senior tournament director Steve Rintoul said images of the club were posted online and his team only learned of them after Matsuyama had used it on the first tee.

"That much substance is clearly above what the equipment rules allow,” a referee at the Memorial Tournament said of white markings on the Japanese star's ...

If the lines had been painted “in the bottom of the grooves where it’s not on the face, not making contact with the ball,” that would have been acceptable, Rintoul added. The substance was arranged in a circle of small lines around the center of the club face, which Rintoul called “excessive” and indicated was probably meant to help Matsuyama’s setup. Rintoul said tournament officials learned of Matsuyama’s 3-wood after images of it were posted online and flagged by an unidentified “person in the golf industry” after Matsuyama started his round. However, the position and quantity of the substance made it possible to affect the flight of the ball and potentially reduce spin. However, after confirming to Rintoul that he used it to tee off at the first hole, the “damage was done,” said the official. “But that much substance is clearly above what the equipment rules allow.”
