Zach Nash was shocked when he discovered he had one too many golf clubs in his bag a couple of hours after winning a Wisconsin junior PGA tournament. But rules are rules, and the 14-year-old from southern Wisconsin made a decision that might surprise some people: He disqualified himself and surrendered his medal. “I knew right away I couldn’t live with myself if I kept this medal, so it was pretty instantaneous,” Nash said Wednesday. The penalty for breaking the rule, called rule 4-4, is two strokes for each hole played with more than 14 clubs, with a maximum of four penalty strokes. The faux pas has made him a better golfer, he said. “It kind of got me to be more aware of all the rules, especially 4-4,” he said.
