KIERAN SHANNON: Tiger ball debate proves golf’s moral code is just fine

Apparently Tiger Woods brought golf into disrepute over the weekend.

It was better for him and for the sport he didn’t win the Masters, otherwise it would forever be known as the tainted green jacket. In fact many feel it would have been even better had he not played on at all.

“It is all about the player and the integrity of the game,” tweeted Greg Norman for one, a couple of days before he’d be inundated for his view on Adam Scott’s breakthrough. “Woods violated the rules, as #1 carries a greater burden. WD for the game.”
