what do you think? Help me decide..
If we are going to go down this road lets review every shot of every player and see how close the caddie gets to a player's line as he takes a stance. This is a big deal about nothing.
I think his caddie for a second thought Rory was going to climb out of the bunker and his caddie was going to assist him if that was the case
Rory cheated at the US Open as well and got away with it, nothing new.
Who cares he won’t be winning anyway
The caddie wasn't directly behind him in a direct line, no penalty. ?
Why's the player penalized and not the caddy? That seems like a rule aimed at caddy's behavior. If I was in Rory's position, I'm certainly not paying attention to where my caddy is.
Thats why Rory readjusted. Rory cheated. Period.
I think this calls for more of a description in the rules on when “taking a stance “ actually begins. Clearly we need more clarity on the situation. If it’s a grey area then how do you issue a penalty. Maybe a warning at best but def need more clarity in the rules going forward
I actually didn’t see the shot live, but you said you don’t think Rory or his caddie “cheated”. That’s totally different than saying he didn’t violate the rules of golf. You can violate a rule without cheating. To me, the simple question would be, did Rory take his stance and the caddie walked into his line behind him. If so, it sounds like a rules violation…not cheating.
Does seem like a petty rule and I doubt it was on purpose. However, intent or not he deserves a penalty stroke. Assess the penalty and move on. I’m sure the rule would be altered next year as a result.
I am not a Rory fan but let's get real, does this really help the golfer? This is BS and I don't care who the golfer is!
If you can clearly determine that he took his stance when the caddie was in the through line, then it is an infraction. If you cannot, then you have to take Rory at his word. As far as protecting the field, only the top players have cameras on them, so that criteria is unevenly applied.
You need to find something more interesting, looking too hard for problems to help you ratings.
There was nothing wrong with what he done, the caddy can't stand behind him while he's addressing the ball to play his shot, he readjusted after his caddy moved therefore no penalty.
The Rory fanboys are blind to anything when it comes to their boy. Yes it’s a penalty
Yes, a viewer tweeted the alleged infraction. Is this a "huge" issue? Yes, but only if McIlroy's caddie deliberately positioned himself to help Rory align his shot. If the caddie was inadvertently in the area then it's a nonissue. Does anyone really think (besides the guy watching on TV who tweeted about it) the caddie thought his man would benefit from his position behind the bunker? I seriously doubt that is the case.
I think it's nit picking. But, it's a rule and I think if it was a LIV player, it would have been handled differently.
Ask a rules expert ,big boy pants golf!
