R & A: Reprehensible and Amoral

Well, the holier than thou, sainted Royal and Ancient Golf Club rules people have apparently shown blatant favoritism to Tiger and Phil this week with questionable rulings. The Golf Channel has mentioned the questionable rulings and brought the word "favoritism" into it. Naturally, the R & A should know all the rules and make the right calls, but you'd at least think they would be favoring the Europeans and not the evil Americans. Show some Ryder Cup Blue Loyalty for Pete's Sake!

So, is this a case of inept rules officials working for THE Premier Rules Body in Golf, or favoritism?

And which one would the R & A prefer to be known for? Corruption or Ineptness?

Miranda,

Or is it possible that the rules of golf have become so complicated that even the "great minds" of the ruling bodies of golf can't get them right?

The rules guy that ABC had working with them seemed to know the rules.
