“I think in this scenario that is not allowed” - Fans comment on Tony Finau’s caddie cleaning the ball
Tony Finau picked up the golf ball as it landed right next to Collin Morikawa’s ball at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Hence, in a special ruling, Finau picked the ball up and handed it to his caddie to offer Morikawa a free swing. After his turn, Tony Finau returned to the bunker to hit his own shot.
When Tony Finau handed his caddie the golf ball, many eagle-eyed fans noticed that he had cleaned it. A practice that is ideally not allowed. Fans posted about their observation on social media.
Certainly, sports gives some rather strange moments.
