Fan kicks Corey Conners' ball back in bounds against the rules
Original: Fan kicks Corey Conners’ ball back in bounds, though rule says otherwise
A fan moved Corey Conners' ball back onto the course after it came to rest out of bounds, an action the rules of golf do not permit. Under the rules, a ball at rest that is moved must be replaced, and spectators are not allowed to intervene, leaving Conners to take the prescribed penalty rather than benefit from the well-meaning gesture.
Why now: The unusual moment of a spectator improperly 'helping' a player during a tournament is drawing attention.
