Haotong Li wasn't the only player who ran afoul of the new rules during the Omega Dubai Desert Classic.
While Li's penalty for alignment aid from his caddie had many pros talking days after the final round, Lucas Herbert also contended despite receiving a two-shot penalty. Herbert's issue came on the third hole of the third round, when cameras caught him improving his lie in a bunker. The move drew the ire of former European Tour pro Gary Evans, who tweeted a video of the infraction:
Herbert was attempting to utilize the new rule introduced this month that allows players to ground their club and remove loose impediments in the sand.
