2 stories from the world of golf

The main talking point from the weekend’s golf was Paul Dunne’s emphatic victory at the British Masters. The Irishman produced a sensational final-round 61, including a chip-in birdie at the last, to hold off Rory McIlroy’s late charge and win his maiden European Tour title by three shots.

Across the pond, the United States were taking on the International team in the Presidents Cup – their equivalent of the Ryder Cup. The USA strolled to victory in this one but it was the Rules-related drama that caught our eye. Here’s what happened:

1. During Friday’s fourball matches, Anirban Lahiri practiced a bunker shot after conceding a hole which is against the Rules, meaning he was DQ from the next hole due to the current hole already being over
2. During Saturday’s fourball matches, Oosthuizen attempted an eagle putt with his partner already securing the birdie. His eagle putt raced by the hole so Spieth picked up his ball as it was now meaningless…while it was still moving. This is a violation of Rule 1-2, which led to the USA team losing the hole

If you’re ever unsure of a ruling make sure you pop your head into the pro shop so we can point you in the right direction.
