Paul McGinley: “If the authorities want to stamp this out and really come down on this and make an example of it, and obviously they haven’t.”
FORMER RYDER CUP captain Paul McGinley believes it was “staggering” that Brooks Koepka and his caddie were cleared of a potential rules violation at the Masters.
If that was deemed to have been advice on which club Koepka had just hit into the par five it would be a breach of the rules, but the pair were quickly cleared of any wrongdoing.“Following the completion of Brooks Koepka’s round, the Committee questioned his caddie and others in the group about a possible incident on No. 15,” James B. Hyler, Jr, chairman of Competition Committees, said in a statement.
Koepka was asked about the incident after an opening round of 65 gave him a share of the lead with Jon Rahm and Viktor Hovland.“They didn’t even know because – I know that fact because GW asked me what we hit walking off , when we were walking down. So that’s all I can give you.” “This is common practice on tour. Whether you like it or not, it happens in every professional tournament around the world.
