The rules officials said that no penalty was needed, so he signed his scorecard. They later deemed that he should, in fact, be penalized.
Because of that screw-up, he shouldn't be DQ'd for signing an incorrect scorecard. He thought he was ok.
He's gonna end up withdrawing because these people who don't like him on a personal level are gonna hold this against him.
We should know soon. He is going to have to appear on the range soon to start warming up if he is going to play.ironman02;1424676 wrote:Seriously, he got penalized. He would've taken the penalty and been done with it.

I hope he doesn't, but then all the "integrity of the game" Nick Faldos, Brandel Chamblees, and David Duvals will crucify him.wildcats20;1424677 wrote:He won't though.

Then probably come to blows with the first reporter that dares ask him if he considers the win to have an asterik by it.
While I could see that, it would only strengthen their resolve to smear him and diminish his run at Jack as soiled by this incident if he wins.wildcats20;1424689 wrote:Wouldn't surprise me to see him never speak to the media again.
Waiting to see what else he has to say...TigerWoods
At hole #15, I took a drop that I thought was correct and in accordance with the rules. I was unaware at that time I had violated any rules.

I didn’t know I had taken an incorrect drop prior to signing my scorecard. Subsequently, I met with the Masters Committee Saturday morning..

TigerWoods ...with them this morning, I was assessed a two-shot penalty. I understand and accept the penalty and respect the Committees’ decision.
Their line of reasoning is that when someone drops a ball for the purpose of replaying a stroke they have to do so as "nearly as possible."SportsAndLady;1424695 wrote:So can someone explain what happened? I'm just now seeing this (see: waking up). I was watching it live yesterday and remember what he did (I remember Nick Faldo confusing himself whether it was a "red" or "yellow"..whatever that means).

Some players have every shot televised and others are rarely on TV. Viewers calling in infractions doesnt play fairly to all players.
