When you see the red line 2 feet from the water on a severe slope with softer ground near the water than further up the slope near the bunker with all the sand and drainage there is no way it could have bounced high enough to be seen on camera if it bounced below the line..

[@jimiverson3085]

Agree. Didn't see all the details, but at least one of those drops was almost certainly correct. A camera across the fairway showed the ball bouncing at least several feet above the fairway level. Given that the red line was right by the water and the terrain above it sloped sharply towards the lake, there is no way a ball would have bounced like that without hitting above the red line. Since McIlroy's bad shots tend to be hooks, that adds to the argument that both balls would have hit land then kicked left into the lake from the hooking action.

[@TheJohnnyblazsus]

If it was curving and even if it did landed waterside of the redline, the ball would have crossed 10-20yards back of the point at which it bounced. That’s basically where Rory dropped

[@ddeboy002]

the drive was low, it was hooked badly, and Rory dropped wayyyy too far down the fairway. His spot is nearly 45 yards wrong.

[@kiiiiiiingd]

too many bots in here. rory was right

[@dereckguilfoyle1219]

Draw lol he hooked it, stop covering for Rory

[@TheJohnnyblazsus]

You agree it curves then

[@donegotold8776]

Y'all just stirring shit now !!! Jordan was not talking loud out of frustration , he was 40 or 50 yds across the fairway having a conversation !!! Do better research before you spread lies !!!

[@LegolasFan69]

Golf rules suck

Gringos

[@turdferguson2839]

Rory clealry cheated, he dropped his ball on the top of the slope and theres no way it got up there. At the very least he was 3 or 4 feet closer to the water and on the side of that slope and he shouldve waited for rules officials and his parters to agree on it.

[@halkyles9507]

Wrong. The bad character in this drama is Spieth. He specifically says that the TV guys have the ball landing inside the boundary. He's wrong. TV didn't have any camera view of the ball landing.

[@turdferguson2839]

@@halkyles9507 wrong, he said they saw it but didn't catch it on camera. Theres no way the ball landed on top of that slope, if it did it wouldn't have bounced backwards into the water.

[@halkyles9507]

Go back and listen to Spieth. He says specifically they saw the ball land on camera. Spieth lied.@@turdferguson2839

[@TheJohnnyblazsus]

What are you talking about? He gets 2 club lengths from the red line
