Scotland's Richie Ramsay endured a weekend to forget at the Wales Open as the halfway stage leader ended the competition in tenth spot after falling foul of the rulebook.

After two-hour talks with officials late on Saturday night he escaped a two-stroke penalty over an incident on the eighth when he pressed down ground behind his ball in testing for casual water.

But on Sunday he had his par five on the last turned into a six because of the way he took relief on the fairway.

Little-known Jeppe Huldahl of Denmark claimed the title and Ramsay said: "I didn't sleep (on Saturday night) because I was concerned about what people might think and my head was in a bit of a spin.

"A lot of things go through your head, but all I can do is tell the truth. That's what golf is about, honesty and etiquette.

"Being up most of the night it wasn't the easiest thing to come out and play. I just need to sit down now, have a rest and clear my head," added the Tour rookie.

Tour chief referee John Paramor said of the first incident: "He now knows that's not the way to go about it. If he's absolutely positive he did not improve his area of swing then I can't impose a penalty on him based on what I've seen.

"I must have looked at it about 20 times on television, but we had only one camera angle."
