(CNN)Former Masters champion Patrick Reed was penalized two strokes for appearing to deliberately improve his lie in a bunker during the third round of the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. "At the end of the day you just have to accept it and move on."https://t.co/2fKaPyKgRB pic.twitter.com/f6oeOru1e7— Golf Central (@GolfCentral) December 7, 2019 The American was filmed taking a number of practice swings, which had the effect of flattening the sand behind his ball. The incident happened on the 11th hole at Albany Golf Club, and quickly went viral on social media. Reed, who was leading after two days, was called to discuss the incident with rules officials after his round and hit with the punishment. He now trails leader Gary Woodland by three shots.

Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day given Japanese lesson ahead of The Challenge
Tiger Woods , Rory McIlroy and Jason Day were summoned back to school by head teacher Hideki Matsuyama for a Japanese lesson they’ll never forget to help them prepare for their arrival in Japan later this month. The three golfers were treated to a language lesson with a difference as they were taught everything from key golfing terms to understanding the local culture and customs of Japan. Hideki puts his pupils through their paces whilst warning against public displays of frustration and the importance of respecting their elders. In the video shared online, the three players gently poke fun at each other as the class progresses. "Do we really need to do this class?" says McIlroy, before Day replies "Hey, do you think Hideki even finished school?" before Woods adds "No way, he was a childhood prodigy, right?" This is before Matsuyama shocks them by saying "I can speak English, guys." Day, who can't help himself, has a bit of fun saying: "What’s the phrase for, 'I just … [Read more...] about Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day given Japanese lesson ahead of The Challenge
Tiger Woods relishes new leading role as Presidents Cup playing captain
It is testament to the resurgence of Tiger Woods’s career that its next phase will play out as he still has club in hand. When considering a Woods captaincy for the Presidents Cup, which begins on Thursday at Royal Melbourne, the subliminal message was obvious: by late 2019, he would be looking at a life beyond individual competition. If that assumption was once wholly logical, Woods has defied even his own pessimistic outlook and not only on the basis he will break with convention as a playing captain of the US team against the Internationals. Woods as a ceremonial golfer, or one reduced to backroom roles, will have to wait. This year, he won his 15th major and later matched Sam Snead’s record of 82 PGA Tour victories. “I was just hoping that things would turn out,” says Woods of his initial Presidents Cup thoughts. “If my back would get good, I could somehow find a swing that would work, then just piece it together and see where the chips fall. I was … [Read more...] about Tiger Woods relishes new leading role as Presidents Cup playing captain

Story highlights Tiger Woods shoots 73 in Masters first round Fights back on back nine at Augusta Sergio Garcia cards eight-over 13 on 15th Jordan Spieth leads on six-under-par 66 (CNN)Tiger Woods limited his losses with a battling first round 73 at the Masters Thursday as defending champion Sergio Garcia saw his chances disappear with a nightmare eight-over-par 13 on the 15th at Augusta National. Garcia, so impressive in winning his first major last year, was two-over-par playing the par-five hole and in a good position for a birdie as he played his 200-yard approach shot. Follow @cnnsport But after spinning back into the water with his first effort, the Spaniard then saw four further efforts from the nearer drop zone suffer the same fate. His sixth effort found the green and he holed the putt for the octuple-bogey 13, the joint worst score on any hole at the Masters and the highest on the 15th, his title defense in ruins after a nine-over 81.
