Thread: Masters Tournament 2013

I just heard that Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia and like 2 others were wearing the same exact shirt yesterday. Apparently when addidas is your sponsor for golf clothing they tell you what to wear on the course each day. So all their players were wearing the same shirt yesterday.

Tiger at -5, and is now co leader! 13 straight fairways going back to yesterday, and hasnt missed one yet today. Yeah no one is going to beat him.

Tiger just needs to be a couple shots back at the end of today. Then have one of those special Tiger sundays.

So someone explain this rule that tiger broke lol I caught a little on espn but what exactly happened?

His initial shot, which had to be shot across the pond, hit the flag stick and went in the water. He had a couple options with what he wanted to do. The two I know are:

1) He could have dropped his ball near the area the ball first crossed the water or,

2) He could have re-shot from approximately the same location he first shot from.

He choose the 2nd option, but placed the ball around 2 feet back from where he thought his initial shot was. That is not allowed. If he had placed it an inch back that wouldn't have been that big of a deal, but 2 feet is taking advantage of the situation. Especially when he said the reason he did so was because he wanted to hit the same exact shot, and by placing his ball 2 feet back and swinging exactly the same, he would not hit the flag stick. And that is exactly what happened.

He also could have gone to the drop zone, which he looked at before going back to his original spot.
