DORAL, Fla. – It was not the start J.B. Holmes was hoping for on Sunday at the WGC-Cadillac Championship.
Last year’s runner-up at Doral began his round some four hours before the leaders with a tee shot pulled well left of the first fairway.
Holmes’ tee shot found a water hazard and he took an “opposite margin” drop, but instead of dropping within two club lengths of the hazard, which is required under the Rules of Golf, he went back nearly 25 yards to play his next shot which was a fairway wood he was able to hit over a line of trees.
