Horrendous standard of golf tonight, no one wants to win it seems

Dubious drop by Grace as well.

pretty dubious pitch too lol

If I was Rickie I'd be leaving my driver in the bag on the 17th tee. I think 2 pars for Fowler wins it from here.

 

[GaryK]

What a tee shot on th e 17th from Fowler - surely that's got to be it.

 

[Dogma]

£2 on Grace at 80/1.

Absolutely gutted he hit it in the water on 17

 

[Beezerk]

Dubious drop by Grace as well.

How?

 

[fundy]

How?

was squatting down, bent kneed when he dropped on 17

 

[6535]

I thought your lower leg had to be straight? Clearly it’s lower to the ground if you squat? Just think the ruling bodies need a kick up the arse with these rulings. It’s making golf look silly.

 

[woofers]

pretty dubious pitch too lol

Agreed, have a look at the diagram in the rule book, 14.3b, it’s a close call, although I think Grace drops it from above his ‘bent knee’ so therefore it is at ‘straight knee’ height.

I agree he was squatting down but he did drop from higher than his knees were

 

[fundy]

I agree he was squatting down but he did drop from higher than his knees were

oh come on chris, youre inviting the rulies with comments like that lol

(again if the rule read above knee height it wouldnt be an issue)

 

[Papas1982]

Good lad Ricky!

 

[Beezerk]

I agree he was squatting down but he did drop from higher than his knees were

Article in this months gm mag basically says the ball has to be knee height (so waist height if you’re squatting). It doesn’t say anything about straight legs etc, it does show an illustration of a correct drop which looks very similar to how Grace dropped.

 

[ger147]

Hits the fairway and he wins it, and surprise surprise he doesn't.

Seems like no-one wants to win this...

 

[Dan2501]

Yay Rickie, all but secured now. So pleased for him after the heartbreak of years gone by in this event. Hope he has a superb 2019!

 

[ger147]

Fowler staggers over the line, but a win's a win.

He did well over the last 6 holes as I thought he was gone but he managed to get over the line.

 

[Jensen]

Fowler showed great composure and mental strength.
Well done Rickie

 

[chrisd]

I'm glad he won

Cant believe it warrants a penalty

Cannot abide Matk Roe

Great mental strength for Rickie to win that after the double pen. Could finally be his year for a major
