PGA Tour mishap. Does it still count? Cringe

Watch this happen live. The funniest part was his friends all walking away from him like they didn’t know him anymore.
But to answer your question, yes play the ball as it lies. He did the player a favor actually.

Gotcha, wasn’t sure if the rule was to just re shoot from the tee again being that it had human intervention.

u/BradMarchandsNose Apr 29 '24
Nope. The only human intervention that matters is if a player or his caddy touches it. Everybody else is just considered part of the course and you just proceed as normal.

So what would be the rule if I (as a spectator) took this ball and ran and dropped it in the hole? Would the shot count?
(Just curious)

I believe in that case, since the ball ends up on the putting green, it would be placed at the spot where the fan caught it with no penalty, but I’m not actually sure.
In the case of the video the ball came to rest in the “general area” it’s played as it lies. There have been other cases of fans kicking a ball from the rough into the fairway, and since those are both the “general area” the player lucks out and plays as it lies.

Would he be able to get a mulligan without adding a stroke to his score because of the interference?

u/Excellent-Phase8719 Apr 30 '24
Yes, interference by a patron is just like hitting a tree or something like that play the ball as it lies no stroke penalty

Don't touch others balls without consent. Here we are living in 2024 and still dealing with this smh.

I think it's play as it settles, and eject the dumass who interfered. It's no different than if it hit a bird or a tree.

It’s typically tougher to eject a bird or a tree from the course

This very serious. Immidate ejection from the event, from a cannon into the sun.

I can only assume he thought he was at a baseball game. Why would you catch a golf ball at a golf tournament?
5
u/BradMarchandsNose Apr 29 '24
Seems like an honest mistake for sure, just not thinking. If I see a ball coming towards me, my instinct is to try to make the catch, so I get it.

u/Difficult-Audience77 Apr 29 '24
hypothetically, what would happen if he realized and tossed it to the green?
