R&A unveil new rules

The two-shot penalty which cost American Jeff Maggert so dearly when he was leading the 2003 Masters will no longer be imposed under new Rules of Golf coming into force next year.

Playing the third hole of his final round at Augusta, Maggert’s ball hit the lip of the bunker he was in and on the rebound struck his body. He ran up a triple-bogey seven and eventually finished fifth.
