you don't hit your tee shot with guys in the middle of the fairway. that may not be a written rule but it sure is etiquette 101. This is nothing more than him stomping his feet and acting like a child because he can. I have seen not one person come to his defense in the media or on tour about this which tells me yeah it may be in the rules but he's a dckhead for doing it. If he really cared about his playing partners and that check of his you start raising hell 2 holes back. Use some of that leverage then, not on 18.
He thought the fairway was clear.
If he didn't have that incident with being a cheapass down in Mexico, people wouldn't have given him stick right now. People love to dogpile.
Yeah. As I understand it, you can't see the fairway from that tee box. Not sure where the breakdown was, as someone was presumably in charge of letting the guys know when they were safe to tee off.
It was just a weird deal all the way around. Kuch had the right to do what he did and who am I to tell him he shouldn't care about $100,000? But it was strange that he was the only guy to pull this, as he was in 12th place.
All in all, I agree with you that this would have just been a quirky deal had it been just about anyone but him.
