Loved getting a chance to see a very funny Brit - Mark Roe - who had a great round again and was interviewed following it about being paired with Tiger on the final day.
Then they found he signed the wrong scorecard. Golf has some rules that are really stupid and that is one of them. You keep your partner's card and verify his score, then give it to him and he signs it. Honesty. Concern for another. Accountability.
The two men did that, but kept scores on the wrong cards. In any other sport that would be laughed at. Check in, somebody would see the muff and you'd correct it.
Golf? Disqualified. Go home at your nation's biggest tournament.
Rules are rules. Unfair? I think so. But no matter how sincere or how good you play, you don't have the right "card", you don't get in.
