Don't know if anyone else cares or is following this but the Euro team got an unfair ruling in day one.
Euro player 2nd shot on a par 5 goes way right into a lateral...#1 I thought they took longer than 5 mins to find the ball...when the ball was found with a rule official on hand it took 25 mins to figure out the drop...all the while the official (using a laser range finder to determine an whether an equa-distance drop on the opposite side of the hole was an option) literally gave her the yardage.
In the end the player chose to go back on the line directly to the flag and play...the problem was the official let her drop on a much better line...not the one she should've been dropping on.
Great play by her to get it up and down for par to halve the hole, but the drop was not right. Stacey Lewis complained about it after the match to no avail...this morning I see the officials acknowledge the drop was not correct.
Why even have them there is they can't get it right?
