So, I was at the open yesterday and sitting in the stand behind the first green. A tee shot ran through the green and was in the slightly longer grass. A sprinkler head was on the line to the pin.
The player was allowed to drop his ball about 6 inches by the rules official with that group (was Simon Dyson if I recall correctly).
So, my question - is this within the core rules of golf? Or must there have been a local rule in place for The Open?
