Bubba's ball lie in the playoff

Posted by: user252224 | Thu 12th Apr 2012 20:25 | Last Reply

I heard on the radio earlier today that apparently Bubba's drive on the last play off hole initially landed under a bush and was kicked back out by a spectator

So the question  i have is

Has anyone else heard this and whats the ruling for it if it did happen?

I heard a conspiracy theory similar to this earlier in the week.  How no TV cameras were there, the shot was completely wayward and in the trees and then once the cameras arrived the ball was beautiful places in the middle of the game on a clear flat lie.

That said was still an absolutely amazing out of this world shot !

Similar stories with Tiger all the time and past stories of other players balls being trodden on.

Urban myths ?

IN this particular example you could have placed the ball on a tee at the height of Bubba's choice in that position and it wouldnt matter.

That shot wins any comp.

Not heard this ,but find it pretty much impossible  to get away with given the amount of people actually there imo.

Not sure about the conspiracy theory but I do know there was an element of luck involved - he if was right handed it would have been impossible to move the ball from left to right that much!
