"If you have two grips on the putter, they have to be a minimum of 1.5 inches apart. His were 1.25 inches apart," tweeted Monday Q Info.
"One of the USGA officials saw it yesterday afternoon.
"Went back to the hotel to confirm the rule.
"Measured this AM in parking lot and DQ'd him."
The account then posted: "to be clear the guy in the pic is NOT the guy who called the rule. I learned it was an official who pointed it out."
