    Mentioned it on CBS highlights tonight. Feherty said it was probably illegal.

    Because we all know Augusta would never do something that would draw attention.

    I heard it. Seemed to come completely out of left field and was not the intention of Patrick to take things in that direction.

    Hank Haney thinks Tiger is in trouble.

    You think people were going nuts over Guan getting docked a shot for slow play. If we wake up in the morning and Tiger is DQ'd -- holy meltdown.

    Tiger took a drop from a wrong place and admitted he purposely went two yards further back from where he'd hit his third shot at 15. DQ is the only thing to do; but, of course, when you're dealing with a Rules Committee that was a joke the way it handled slow play in Round 2, who knows how this will play out?

    Guan is Tiger's Cleveland State.

    Rules are rules. Tiger said it himself. See ya, Tiger.
     
  9. Has Costas ever golfed at Augusta?

    I was watching that drop and Feherty was fumbling over whether Tiger hit into a red-staked or yellow-staked hazard. As Feherty went through the list of options, Tiger took his drop, and I thought "Wait a second, dropping two yards behind his original lie was not one of the options there."

    I'm guessing the rules committee will say his drop met the intention of the rule or something like that.

    Tiger assessed two-stroke penalty per the Golf Channel's Live From the Masters broadcast. I don't have a link.

    Just flipped it on. Crazy. And there is a rule in place that the committee can waive the disqualification.

    Rule 33-7.

    A penalty of disqualification may in exceptional individual cases be waived, modified or imposed if the committee considers such action warranted.
