A bad boy to get DQ.   What did he do wrong?

Not sure as can't find any reports on what happened to merit a DQ. However it may have something to do with his position at that time, being near last and at 16 over having played 14 holes of 2nd round. Looks like he was heading for plumb last as Darren Clarke ended up at 18 over at the end of the round.

 

There was a suspension of play close to the end of the 2nd round so maybe KB just thought, Phuket, and didn't bother coming back and forgot to retire himself.

 

There was a comedy moment with one of the Chinese players launching his putter into a pond after, I think, missing a putt. His mother waded into the water to retrieve it and managed to grab hold of the handle. Unfortunately there was no shaft attached and the other players / caddies collapsed in laughter seeing this unfold. I caught the end of this on TV and it was really funny.
