Everything was done within the rules - he had multiple officials with him and did everything by the book with a major on the line. Could have been a treble and did amazing to get away with a bogey

 

[Qwerty]

Unbelievable... balls of steel !! :rofl:

That's an unbelievable 5, Houdini wouldn't even have attempted that never mind pulled it off.

However, far be it from me to question the rules officials but I have no idea how on earth he was allowed to drop a ball on purpose where you don't have line of sight and then get free relief on the driving range which surely can't be a part of the course.

Because what he did was entirely within the Rules. One of the options for an unplayable ball is to drop back along a line from the flagstick through where your ball lies as far as you like on the course. Having taken relief under penalty in that way, he was then entitled to free relief from a Temporary Immovable Object in the form of the vehicles.

Great bogey!

Rules are there to be used. If he closes this out it'll be impressive.

Chip in from a bunker maybe?

 

[Beezerk]

Phew I need to come up for air, unbelievable stuff.

 

[upsidedown]

What a shot !!

 

[garyinderry]

Great 5 Jordan. see nothing wrong. range not Oob

 

[Junior]

Unbelievable... balls of steel !! :rofl:

And the next next tee shot too !!!!!!!

Good job the crowds are there to look for balls.

 

[Beezerk]

Kinell, nearly in.

 

[fundy]

Got some stones to make 5 after that tee shot then nearly hole in one the next! Some resilience considering how badly hes actually playing

 

[garyinderry]

Such a boring player to watch :rofl:

 

[williamalex1]

How can he drop on the range? Surely there is no way the range is not OoB?

It depends on the the club, some designate the practice area as OOB , others say you can play as it lays , some say it's drop at nearest point of relief out side the area.

 

[JohnnyDee]

Well fair play to him for the birdie on 14th but he's riding his luck today.

Don't think many would be upset to see Kuchar lift the claret jug.

I might be a bit upset as i have Spieth and Rory in my fantasy golf team, no Kuch please .

Spieths name is all over the claret jug - don't think someone will ever play so badly in the final round and still win.

 

[upsidedown]

Amazing bounce back

 

[richy]

That's what I'm talking about!!!!

 

[Pin-seeker]

That's some putt
