Arvovaltaisen herrasmiehen perusteiluita päätökselle.
’Fred Ridley, former president of the USGA and the chairman of the Masters competition committees, issued the following statement on Saturday regarding the ruling:
“Yesterday afternoon, the Rules Committee was made aware of a possible Rules violation that involved a drop by Tiger Woods on the 15th hole.
“In preparation for his fifth shot, the player dropped his ball in close proximity to where he had played his third shot in apparent conformance with Rule 26. After being prompted by a television viewer, the Rules Committee reviewed a video of the shot while he was playing the 18th hole. At that moment and based on that evidence, the Committee determined he had complied with the Rules.
“After he signed his scorecard, and in a television interview subsequent to the round, the player stated that he played further from the point than where he had played his third shot. Such action would constitute playing from the wrong place.
“The subsequent information provided by the player’s interview after he had completed play warranted further review and discussion with him this morning. After meeting with the player, it was determined that he had violated Rule 26, and he was assessed a two-stroke penalty. The penalty of disqualification was waived by the Committee under Rule 33 as the Committee had previously reviewed the information and made its initial determination prior to the finish of the player’s round.”

Antaa ymmärrystä tehdylle ratkaisulle. Joskaan ei tietysti tarvitse ymmärtää. Pelaaja ei saisi vapautua sillä, että ei tunne sääntöjä. Ymmärtääkseni tässä perustellaan osin myös sillä, että Toimikunta sai tiedon virheestä, tutki ja tulkitsi ilman haastattelua videon perustella tilanteen mennen oikein. Kortin jättämisen jälkeen TV-haastattelussa tulleen lisätiedon perusteella Toimikunta ymmärsi, että ei mennyt oikein; ’ei dropannut lähimpään paikkaan’. Ja tämä vaikutti osaltaan siihen, että katsoi kohtulliseksi kaksi rangaistuslyöntiä DQ:n sijaan. Mutta.
