12/15/2012 4:49:34 AM | DarrellLooks like the pin on 18 is cut in its usual sunday position is this correct or is the camera angle decieving

12/15/2012 11:11:35 PM | PGA MediaHi Ray, I have talked to the tournament director and the answer to your divot question is that players are instructed to repair divots not by using sand but rather by pushing in the turf from around the divot. The reason players do not use sand is because they prefer to hit from a solid base than off the unpredictable sand base. At the end of every round all divots are repaired by ground staff.
The second part of your question was in regards to divots in the fairway not being treated as GUR. The rule on this is set by the R&A and the reason that they are not GUR is that a divot is a normal occurrence in the course of play. If you would like more information on this rule or other check out the R&A website here. -

-
12/16/2012 4:51:55 AM | PGA Media
B.Jones, misses this putt pictured but makes par, as does Pampling and Griffin.
-
12/16/2012 4:54:12 AM | PGA MediaPampling with some luck on 16, hitting the trees down the right and bouncing back onto the rough on the fairway edge, should have a clear shot at green.

12/16/2012 4:56:33 AM | PGA Media via mobile
Popovic 3rd shot from here onto the green 7ft putt for birdie here
-
-
-
12/16/2012 4:59:36 AM | Ian BurroughCould be a 2 shot swing here. Popovic great chance of birdie on 15 and Pamps in trouble off tee on 16 -
-
12/16/2012 5:00:50 AM | PGA MediaPampling in trouble on 16. He hits it fat from the rough and flies it straight into the fairway bunker 40mtrs shirt of the green. Will be hard for him to make par. Griffin hits it to within 1ft and Jones is off the back.
-
-
12/16/2012 5:02:43 AM | PGA Media via mobilePopovic still one shot off Pampling at 15-under needs a birdie to level in the next 3 holes, can he do it?
-
12/16/2012 5:06:13 AM | PGA MediaPampling comes up short but taps in for bogey. It's all tied up. Playoff anybody?
-
12/16/2012 5:07:58 AM | PGA MediaThe winner today will get an exemption into the WGC Bridgestone Invitational. Would be huge for Daniel Popovic but also for Rod Pampling who wouldn't be exempt otherwise.
