I thought you were going to say that he dropped too many times and had to take a couple stroke penalty. That might have put him over the limit after the fact. Or something like you can only lose so many balls. I feel like that has happened before too.
Not on the final hole of a major championship when you have such a big cushion. He didn't need a driver and could have used an iron the whole way up to the green and still won comfortably.
Almost sounds like something out of TinCup!
Lol. It was very similar and totally idiotic.
