Corey Conners\u2019 approach at the second hole seemed destined for out of bounds on Saturday afternoon during Presidents Cup foursomes. But as the shot sailed left and landed in the rough, left of the wooden, split-rail fence that lines the left side of the hole, a spectator suddenly kicked the ball, still in motion, onto the green.<\/p>\n
Conners\u2019 ball eventually settled just 13 feet from the hole, as several American fans started to boo.<\/p>\n
While balls can take accidental ricochets off fans and be played where they come to rest, PGA Tour rules official Mark Dusbabek explained that because it was a \u201cdeliberate action,\u201d Conners\u2019 ball would be ruled out of bounds.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou estimate where the ball would\u2019ve landed if it wasn\u2019t deflected,\u201d Dusbabek said. \u201cThat ball would be out of bounds.\u201d<\/p>\n
After missing out on a potential lucky break, Conners and partner Nick Taylor went on to lose the hole to an American bogey, as Russell Henley and Jacob Bridgeman extended their lead to 2 up through as many holes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"File this under: Things you don\u2019t see every day.
