HOT IRISH

He said he was wrong by saying he dropped the ball 2 yards away to get a better lie, that's 100% wrong no matter who he spoke to afterwards. It's clear cut & he shouldn't be out there. If he wins how is the runner up gonna feel about it?

Yes but tiger subsequently realised he was wrong & said it in the interview - the penalty for this is DQ, not some nonsense about TV evidence. Countless golfers DQ themselves every weekend for realising they'd made an error, often after a chat about an incident in the bar afterwards, the right thing to do is DQ yourself, Tiger didn't cuz he has no class. This is heading into the cheating category now but of course he's experienced there!

The whole premise of following the rules of the game is based on a player calling rules infringements on themselves & whether he realised it doing an interview or talking to his mother about it later is not relevant to the argument. The fact is he said he improved his position by dropping in the wrong place & then signed for the wrong score without correcting the mistake. That's a DQ in the rules of golf, TV is not relevant (or shouldn't have been) in this incident.

There are no ifs or buts or maybes to this, & TV coverage is completely irrelevant to the issue..& as a result the committee had no basis to invoke the rule they did. Woods dropped the ball in the wrong place, he admitted doing so to get a better lie, the result was he signed for the wrong score & under the rules of golf (which although detailed are very clear) he should be DQ'd. What a bad day for the game of Golf.

It was an honest mistake at the time but if Woods doesn't withdraw it's heading into the territory of cheating by knowingly gaining an unfair advantage over your competitors. The masters commitee have made a right mess out of this with that stupid decision. If Woods plays on it could be the worst masters ever & if he wins it will taint the tournament & his beloved major record forever. It's time for him to do the decent thing for once....

It's a complete no- brainer he should br disqualified, he played from the wrong place & signed for a wrong score. The rule is 100% clear so giving any golfer a 2 shot penalty is absolutely the wrong call.

Whats with the spitting from Keegan Bradley, how completely disgusting!

Bubba Watson gets my vote too, hes a total jerk & I dont buy his fun-guy act one bit. The Paris episode is the icing on the cake from this idiot but the incident I remember most was the way he abused Steve Elkington for getting in his eyeline on the course - called him a f**ker amongst other things, it was totally out of order & completely classless, I'm not surprised TV networks avoid giving him airtime.

What a shambles this is. How on earth could the PGA call those sand areas bunkers when thousands of fans are trampling around them all week. Theyve wrecked what was a great tournament. A bad result for golf whatever happens.

Yeah an 18 hole play-off would seem a crazy idea at this late stage. Glover has it to lose now anyway, couldnt stand watching him for another 18.

Whats up with Glover, he looks like a Bulldog chewing a wasp? You're leading the US Open for heaven's sake!!

Great day for the US team, didnt take long for those obnoxious fans to re-appear when they're winning. Go Europe.
