re: If this penalty happened to Freddie Couples

Tiger gained an unfair advantage with his drop and signed an incorrect scorecard He dropped his ball 2 yards further back to gain an advantage and admitted doing so. Ignorance of the rules is no excuse. He should have been DQ'd

"I went down to the drop area," he said. "That wasn't going to be a good spot, because obviously it's into the grain, it's really grainy there. And it was a little bit wet. So it was muddy and not a good spot to drop. So I went back to where I played it from, but I went two yards further back and I took, tried to take two yards off the shot of what I felt I hit. And that should land me short of the flag and not have it either hit the flag or skip over the back.
