The Way to Play It
As one commentator said it, there's honesty, and then there's Brian Davis. Last Sunday at the PGA Verizon Heritage golf tournament, Davis was in the running for his first PGA championship when his ball rolled off the 18th green. :
Wow. What a strange ending. Brian Davis called on himself what he thought might be a penalty when his club made contact with a twig on his backswing from the hazard left of the 18th hole. It had zero impact on the shot, but was a rules...
