Tiger Woods : Allowed to Move his Ball

Allowed to Move his Ball

I am watching the Doral right now on NBC.

About 30 minutes ago, Tiger hit his ball into a bunker next to the green. The ball was right up against the bunker wall. They went to another golfer, and when they came back to Tiger, an official was pointing to a spot away from the bunker wall. Tiger picked up his ball and placed it about two feet away from the wall and closer to the hole. Tiger had a much easier shot and birdied the hole.

I never got the explanation for why Tiger was allowed to pick up his ball and move it closer to the hole. I have never seen that before.

The announcers keep talking about how Tiger is making a big comeback today. No,wonder.
