He deserved it. Ridiculous that Fleetwood got a cushy drop and no penalty on the first playoff hole, that ball was going like 70 yards by the hole.

I agree , not penalized for putting in the Grandstand ...Golf ...I love it but it does have some Dumb Rules .

Usually guys get a lift because the stands impede their swing, but that time Fleetwood hit it 10+ feet up into the fans. Should be like a hazard or out of bounds.

It’s TIO just like every other tournament. It’s temporarily added to the course and wouldn’t be there if not to watch the event so the guys aren’t penalized for something outside the normal scope of the course… I don’t love it because usually these only come into play when the guy hits an awful shot but I can’t get behind penalizing the guy for an obstruction they put in place to watch the event either.

Not sure I would call it an obstruction, it's on the other side of the green.

Not sure I would call it an obstruction, it's on the other side of the green. I suppose the logic must be that if the bleachers are set up there, it must otherwise be an open and relatively flat area … so the player should be entitled to a shot comparable to what they otherwise would have had if they were not there … now if hitting the bleachers prevented the ball from ending up OB, in a hazard, or in significantly thicker rough, then I would agree.

If that isn’t there, who are we to say that Fleetwood doesn’t have a shot, despite the fact he was going right? We’ll never know because it ended up in the grandstand. By the definition of the rules, the stands are an obstruction.
