The reason for the ban is a "serious breach of the Tour's Code of Conduct". Cédric Gugler had placed his ball in the wrong place on the green several times during a tournament in June and played from there. The decision to ban him for ten tournaments was made by a disciplinary committee after the 25-year-old was disqualified at the tournament in question.
"My mistake was that I admitted at the first hearing on the evening of the tournament that I may not have put the ball back in the exact same place due to simple carelessness," Gugler said on social media after his ban.
It was never his intention to gain an advantage for himself and he deeply regrets the incident. "I accept the decision and will use it as motivation to be even more careful in the future," Gugler concludes.
