Rarely does a tournament pass by without a rules controversy of some sort, and this weekend was no different with Carl Yuan’s free drop at the Sony Open in Hawaii picking up a lot of attention.
Yuan was in a five-way tie for the lead at 16-under-par playing the par-5 18th, but his chances of victory lengthened when he found a fairway bunker off the tee, and even more so when his second went way right towards a hospitality tent down the right side of the fairway.
