Puerto Rico open
Can anyone tell me if Finau who won in Puerto Rico did the right thing in the final round when he hit his ball into the hazard, and took a penalty drop. I saw him drop his ball once, then he dropped it again and then he picked it up and repositioned it in the waste bunker. It just seemed odd to me. It was well televised and no one seemed to think there was a rules infraction. Thanks and much appreciated.

If ball moves two times during the drop process, I believe you then have to place it at the spot it landed during the second drop attempt.

There's a tad more to it than that.

Would someone care to elaborate on exactly what happen as there are many reasons in the rules where a player would be permitted to re-drop before placing?

If the ball ended up closer to the hole than the original lie it must be re-dropped. If it happens on the second drop it has to be placed rather than dropping over and over and over again.
Life dinnae come wit gimmies so yuv got nae chance o' gitt'n any from me.
