7-year old boy returns golf trophy
When he realises he has made a scorecard error
Words: James Greenwood
A 7-year-old in Spain returned a trophy after realizing he had made a scorecard error.
Andalusian Yago Horno Mateo recently won a golf tournament, posting a score of 50. But when he got home, Yago realized that he had actually shot 51.
Instead of keeping quiet and keeping his trophy, he wrote a letter to the Royal Andalusia Golf Federation.
In it, he said that his father had told him signing for a lower score was grounds for disqualification and that he wanted the trophy to "be given to the player who deserves it."
Yago we salute!
Here's his letter: translation not provided, but you get the gist.
