Didn’t he hit the tree on first hole during backstroke? Jim Nantz said he did. Shouldn’t that be a one stroke penalty?
No. It would have been improper for Reed to alter the position of the tree or any branch in a practice swing, but whatever happens in a swing outside a hazard area is OK.
If you are in a hazard, then you are not supposed to move grass in your backswing.
No, not at all.
