Paul McGinley has claimed it was "staggering" Masters co-leader Brooks Koepka denied his Northern Irish caddie gave advice to his playing partner - and avoided a two-shot penalty.
TV pictures appeared to show Ricky Elliott saying: “Five” to Gary Woodland’s caddie after the former world No. 1 hit a 5-iron onto the 15th green. Rule 10-2a forbids any player giving or asking for advice from anyone but his own caddie. The rule also applies to the player’s caddie, which carries an identical two-stroke penalty.
The Masters launched an investigation in the incident but quickly cleared the four-time major winner and Ulsterman Elliott. And the American insisted no advice had been given to Woodland or his caddie Brennan Little.
