Tiger back on the shelf. About to have back surgery #5 and will be out for a while.

Meanwhile, the PGA Tour has cancelled next year's PGA Championship at Trump Bedminster Golf Course. Will move to another course which has yet to be announced.

Read that Tiger will probably miss the next 2 events.

Yeah I think it's all a normal schedule. Which means we get another Masters in less than 3 months.

I don't like Reed and he has been questioned cheating before but if it is LC&P what is the difference if it bounces first or not? Was it cause he went and grabbed it first then said check it out.

From what I read is if the ball bounced first it very unlikely it was lodged into the ground.

Ya, I have seen them LC&P in the fairway plenty of tourneys on the mown grass. He was in the rough and maybe they had a rule if he was plugged in the rough, he could get a ruling but he toyed with it first.  They brain fart the rules now and then but this guys is earning a rep.

The rule is about the ball being embedded in a lie from impact. If it bounces then there in no chance for the ball sitting in it's pitch mark.

The controversy surrounds him asking if the ball bounced and the volunteer saying it did not. His playing partner and caddies did not see the ball bounce.

So from that point on he has the right to mark the ball placement, which he did, and check if the ball is embedded, even remove the ball as long as he announces his intentions to witnesses, which he did.

After finding the ball did rest in a pitch mark he called for an official to verify it was indeed an embedded lie and was afforded a club length drop.

Since he is a known cheat the assumption was he knew the ball bounced and did something to doctor the lie before summoning an official. This is not apparent in the video replay.

He was in the secondary high rough so taking a drop in the same area probably didn't improve his lie. With a four stroke lead there was little advantage here to ask of a drop unless he believed the ball was embedded and as such un-playable by rule.

Well explained.  Luckily it was more than a 1 or 2 stroke win and likely was plugged deep but since he is getting the rep he should have gotten someone over first. He won but just gave his competitors more reason to think he is a shit. Brings me back to DJ at the PGA on the Kohler course in Wisc.  I believe he just brain farted that and got called out which was right because people were using the trap as a path and should have asked first.  

Side note when I play you guys, It is what I say it was.

61. Not bad for a guy who’s struggled so much.

Golf is more fun to watch when Spieth is playing well.

[Angel Oracle]

Meanwhile, X-man is having a great start to 2021.  Fifth and second place finishes, and tied for first starting today, currently 4th in the Ryder Cup standings

The 68-foot birdie from the rough off the green was magical.

Lou and I had talked about it here but he hasn't won since that playoff bunker chip in from what I think was almost 3 years ago now. Hopefully this is the start of him getting his game back. 

[Lou]

So, I learned something about LB State's favorite son, Xander. 

He attended LB State for only 1 year before transferring to SD State for his final 3 years.

He needs a cut back 

[Lou]

Spieth began the final round with a 2 shot lead. After 3 holes, he's 1 shot back.
