It’s not what any athlete wants to hear. A few athletes already learned that qualifying for the Games through the Open was no longer feasible after receiving penalties, like Sam Briggs. The latest competitor to get the bad news is Jessica Griffith — except she didn’t just receive a penalty. Her entire score was scrapped.

We can’t even imagine the frustration and disappointment. The Open is nearly over, and suddenly, she’s having to rethink her entire approach. But we admire Griffith’s attitude and can’t wait to see her crush it at a Sanctionals event.
