Finished solo 3rd
Won over 400,000

Jumped from 124 to 81 in FedEx Cup

It took over 25 minutes for a ruling and the group behind them played through.

Tiger did the same thing at the players a few years back. I guess it's a right of passage

A few things

Let the rules official sign if you do not concur

&

Handle this crap in the clubhouse / locker room - you don’t take this to social media.

If he cheated, the pros will take care of it.

In this same vein I have a hazard question. There is an island green staked by yellow hazard lines. You hit your approach into a green side bunker (within the yellow hazard) and skull it to the other side of the green and it rolls into the water. What is the ruling here? I know yellow gives you three options 1) drop zone if marked 2) replay as close as possible to last shot 3) where ball last crossed hazard as far back as you want mainting that line (think these are your 3 options). Let’s say there is no designated drop zone and you have already crossed the hazard (shot into green side bunker) and now have crossed back into the hazard (skilled bunker shot). Assume you replay as close as possible (I.e. hit in bunker again)?

I've seen it happen at the #3 at Zurich at least a few times. Player hits straight towards the water and the ball never comes back. Player asks the other player where should I drop. Other player says "up here somewhere". I think it happens a lot out there.


Players also move their balls while clearing debris and fixing mystery marks on the greens.

I think this happened to Vijay Singh at a tournament , major maybe? He hit his ball into the water. Rules official said drop way back near the tee box. VS swore up and down that he hooked it into the water and should be allowed to drop way further up. Due to the lack of ball trace tech at the time, the rules official simply let VS call it like he saw it.

Change the rule. Hook slice whatever, straight line path only when determining these things.

Couple of years ago Dustin Johnson did this at the AT&T pebble beach.

Because Dustin Johnson did that when I’m at a par 5 with water all the way down a par 5 i purposefully drive in the water and drop by the green.
