‘Does seem excessive sometimes’: Are pros abusing this rule?
A new rule introduced at the start of the year has allowed players to replace a ball (without penalty) if it becomes embedded in the general area through the green. But one PGA Tour star thinks it could be time for a rethink.
Viktor Hovland has enjoyed a remarkable 12 months and moved into the world’s top 10 after claiming his third PGA Tour win at the Hero World Challenge in December.
