    Brian Davis couldn't deny what he saw and knew he was honour-bound to tell the world.

    How very Bobby Jones of him. Better he tell them I guess, still not a bad payday but it would have been nice for him to win the event.

    Very honorable but why in the world would he not just take the drop and force Furyk to make the putt. The announcers said he had a good chance to make the chip. Too many risks in that hazard.

    Too bad for Davis, but good for the game of golf.
    He did the right thing and sucked it up, rather just pretending it didn't happen, and go Wie, Wie, Wie all the way home.

    HAHAHAHA! That's funny, you used "Wie" instead of "Wee".

    Unfortunately comedy just doesn't have the same effect over the internet when you are lacking tone and delivery.

    Question:
    There have been times in recent history when during tournament play, a golfer is seen by someone watching on tv, commitee a penelty, but being unaware have carried on and upon video review have been dq'd from the tournament. In this case, being an extra hole playoff, what would have happened if he had not notice or come forward, finished the hole and signed his card. Upon further review, would he have been disqualified from the entire tournament, or would he just forfeit the extra hole play-off and retain his second place finish after the 72 holes? Would he have signed his card for yesterday's 18 hole round before the playoff began? Does that matter?

    Do a reality check guys...
    He hit it on the beach ... the 2 strokes is a red herring.
    Furyk had already won (almost) before Davis tried the sand shot.
    He had a chance to fluke a 3 or take the drop and probably score 5.
    He gave himself the best opportunity to Win the tournament.
    Took big gonades to try the shot. More power to him.

    ?- My understanding is that withouth the penalty, he has a chance to get up and down for par. If Furyk two putts, they are off to the next hole. The penalty in this case is quite large and perhaps cost him his first win. Maybe I'm missing something, but not sure what the red herring is in this case.

    There are no scorecards used in a playoff because it's a hole-by-hole exercise. Providing he signed and returned a correct score card after regulation, regardless of what happened in the playoff, he would still retain his status after 72 holes and earn 2nd place money.

    Before any playoff can begin, the players must sign and return correct scorecards to the tournament officials to verify.

    That is what I assumed, and that being said, in my opinion makes it even more honourable of him to bring forward the penalty. If he did not, he wasn't even risking being disqualified if he got caught. Looks good on the game, and great on him. The kind of story the PGA desperately needed.

    I thought he should have taken the drop, Furyk was lying 3 and Davis would have been lying 4 but with a much better chance of making the shot. If he makes it or if he misses then Furyk needs to make the putt and thats pressure.

    Furyk makes the putt and wins or he misses and its playoff again. No need for a reality check Dmartin, even his caddie suggested he take the drop after looking at the lie in the hazard.
