| Is anyone watching the Open coverage? on 21:38 - Jul 17 with 1671 views | Radlett_blue | He was in a horrible place right of the 5th, surrounded by long grass. He did walk around a lot before (successfully) hacking his ball out so probably a fair decision assuming he improved his lie or intended area of swing. Phew - I was thinking about backing him today, but didn't. A big call effectively to call a golfer a cheat, although no doubt Big Bryson will say he improved his lie inadvertently.

It sounds as though the ruling includes the word "inadvertently" |  |

Okay - so they don't want to call him out as a cheat. But yes, even if he's improved his lie inadvertently, it's still a 2 shot penalty. |  |

He unintentionally stood on tall grass which, if he hadn’t done so, would have interfered with his swing. The big question is will King Donald try to intervene? |  |

He'll undoubtedly say it wouldn't have happened if the Open was played at one of his clubs |  |

Not sure he can claim not to understand the rules of golf. It is the one sport he does understand. |  |

Knowing the rules does not, in the case of Trump, mean abiding by them. |  |

He is aware of them, but they don’t seem to apply to him. |  |
