Tiger DID NOT assess himself a penalty! He therefore was required to drop as near as possible to the spot of the last shot. These pros can drop 5 out of 5 on a dollar bill!

He hit into a hazard, and not being able to hit it out, he chose to drop where he did and took a 1 stroke penalty. I still say he should drop within 2 clubs, from his original divot, no closer to the hole. Take Tiger out of the equation. The rule still sucks. But for now it is what it is.

Have you ever hit a ball that you can't find? Then you know you must go back to where it was hit. You drop within a couple club lengths, add a stroke penalty, and play on.
