Defending champion Andres Romero was disqualified after the first two rounds of the Zurich Classic.  Romero shot what was thought to be a 75 on Friday, including a par on the par-5 18th.  Romero turned in his scorecard, forgetting to add a one stroke penalty for hitting his first shot into the water.  Per PGA Tour rules, since he turned in an incorrect scorecard, he was disqualified.

It likely would not have mattered, as Romero sat a 5-over through the first two rounds and the projected cut was 1-under.
