They did not use the new HD Rule in order to not to DQ him (i had been pretty outspoken that that rule did not apply here .. Pat on the back for threeputt)

So, they blamed it on the Masters, basically.
Not saying they're wrong, but just saying, that's what they did.

Good read.
I think that's the key part that summarizes the article.
quote:
The Decisions on the Rules of Golf authorize a Committee to correct an incorrect decision before the competition has closed, and they establish that where a Committee incorrectly advises a competitor, before he returns his score card, that he has incurred no penalty, and then subsequently corrects its mistake, it is appropriate for the Committee to waive the disqualification penalty.

Good read. Here's the statement I take issue with:
There was nothing rare or exceptional about what happened at the Masters. It was a straightforward ruling that both Tiger and the rules committee fricked up.
quote:
Only a rare set of facts, akin to the exceptional facts at the 2013 Masters Tournament as summarized in the previous paragraphs, would justify a Committee’s use of its discretion to waive a penalty of disqualification for returning an incorrect score card.
