Nick Barrett, a 31-year-old UPS driver, faced heartbreak when he was disqualified from qualifying for the U.S. Open after forgetting to sign his scorecard due to a trip for a hot dog. Despite shooting a two-over 73 in the first round and having a chance to advance, he arrived 20 minutes late to submit his card, as his playing partners had to file their scores to avoid disqualification. This marked the second time Barrett came close to qualifying, hoping to improve his chances in the next year’s event while remembering the priority of signing his scorecard over food.
