LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Tiger Woods was penalized two strokes following his round Friday at the BMW Championship for an infraction that occurred on the first hole, the third time this year he has been assessed penalty strokes when someone alerted officials to a possible violation.
The penalty was assessed when Woods moved a stick near his ball behind the first green, causing the ball to move. Under Rule 18-2a, that calls for a one-stroke penalty. But because Woods did not replace the ball, it became a two-stroke infraction.
That meant the double-bogey 6 he made on the hole turned into a quadruple-bogey 8 and his score of 70 went to 72. Woods is tied for 13th, seven strokes back of leaders Brandt Snedeker and Jim Furyk, who shot a PGA Tour record-tying 59.
According to the PGA Tour, Woods was videotaped by a tour entertainment crew. An editor at PGA Tour headquarters going over the footage thought there was movement of the ball and notified the PGA Tour. The film was sent over to tour officials on site at Conway Farms.
