Surely the 10 seconds begin after they player gets to the hole without undue delay...
Korda didn't try to get to the hole without undue delay because she was writhing around on the ground bemoaning her luck.
Get up, get to the hole and then see...
If you want 10 seconds...get there sooner.

Rules dont say that though. You can wait the 10s, but must then get to the hole in reasonable amount of time but then no 10s.

Golf works when played by the rules, not what people might like them to be, incorrect applications of them, etc. Unless you are Tiger Woods, that has always been the way.

Morale of the story, never touch your opponents golf ball.

Nellie said nothing and was sitting on the floor. Wouldn't have got there in 10 seconds.

But was given as hand ball. That's a yellow card and a free kick!!

Mrs d just said touching someone else’s balls causes trouble

I thought that in matchplay it was the right of a player to overlook a transgression by an opponent, so what is the official doing sticking their oar in when team USA have said nothing?

deliberate handball is a red card

Just seen it.
she’s had an absolute nightmare.

from what they showed. No blame on Korda either. She took the concession and didn’t appear to grumble

Doesnt have to get there in 10s. She can consume her 10s kneeling in sorrow. And then get to the hole in a reasonable time.

If I was in this situation,

1. I would have left the ball until the other player picked it up

2. If my opponent claimed the hole as mentioned any enjoyment or sense of responsibility to play golf would have been lost and match would be conceded.

Or

1. Id have asked them not to touch it until i was sure it wasnt moving. (Even though by throwing my putter and dropping to my knees i think i knew it had stopped).

2. If i didnt stop them, then I'd have assumed there integrity was intact and left it at that.

If my captain came and asked me to claim tbe hole I'd have politely refused.

Commentary have just said that the rules officials have been told to intervene if they see a breach of the rules so it's possible that the official didn't have any choice under what she's been told to do.

 

[Imurg]

So are they effectively saying you have to wait 10 seconds before conceding a putt..?
Even if the ball is a foot away?
After all, the wind might blow it in..

No, it's the overhanging the whole bit that is crucial here. Not sure how the referee could see that from off the green though.

 

[sweaty sock]

The only way that was getting to the hole was if it evolved legs and marched there.

This is not the golf i want to be promoted to juniors club players.

No idea where the fault lies, so not necessarily holding it against Korda etc...

Has anyone got a video? Only seen it once on tv.

 

[Brads]

Looked overhanging from both angles I saw .

A strange instruction if they have, but then as we've seen before, professionals have no idea about the rules.

Looking at the tv a tiny fraction was
Overhanging and it was past the hole
