well hell par 4, I guess you are right and me, your own USGA buddies, the Masters, Tiger, and his caddy are wrong. Gee whiz, life’s a bitch.
And you are tiger's (bitch)
I do disagree with the rules makers and would bet real money that if an average player on the tour pulled this off at one of the Euro Tour events and bragged about it, he'd be DQ'd faster than you could possibly imagine. "Superstars" get special considerations, but if Tiger wins there will be many who will not acknowledge the victory. I will be one of those, not that he will either know or care.
