Masters possible unseen penalty

[NearHull]

On the 10th. Young in the woods. Caddy was behind him as Young took his stance, he lined Young up. The caddy then moved to the right by 1-2 yards but Young stayed in his stance. I think it is a general penalty because Young was lined up by the caddy who did then move, but Young did not come out of the stance and played his shot.
Maybe overlooked because we generally keep an eye out for that behaviour on the green but not in the rough. Hopefully, it will be addressed.

Phone them up and tell them.
Faldo can then name you as the eagle-eyed chap live on Sky Sports .

I haven’t noticed it to be honest but interested to see it.

I don’t think being called a ‘grass’ is appropriate on this Rules thread.

Apologies if any offence caused. I will edit it.
If a breach of the rules the appropriate penalty should be applied 100%.

Thank you for the edit. ( and the pm)

I post it for general discussion because it is a rule not well understood at club level. And, I am a bit surprised that it wasn’t picked up by the commentators.


I don’t have enough tech knowledge on how to post a video clip of the incident shown on Sky. Anyone?

Am intrigued as to what rule was being breached?

Caddy lined the player up in their stance , not sure what the current rules are for that

Rule 10.2b. I saw that also, and it may have been missed or was part of the second bullet of 10.2b(4), Help Other than Aiming.
