Former major champion Rich Beem said: “I feel very strong about it, and it’s very blunt, and it’s annoying. Did the Commission follow the letters of the law according to what the rules are? I think it’s judgment. “
What did the players say about it?
Lowry: “I think (rules) have it on the head of the ball. I moved it and it was a two -shot penalty. They had only one camera angle, and there was an enlarged camera angle in the ball. They were looking for what we were looking for.”
