AUGUSTA, Ga. — Golf has all sorts of rules. And golf takes those rules seriously.

Give advice to anyone in competition who is playing on the course orThis may seem like a strange rule but it is designed to stop one player from asking another player what club he hit or how hard he swung since gaining that information on, say, how the wind is blowing would be an unfair advantage against all the other golfers since they would not have had said info.

The most compelling evidence is that it sure looks like Elliott said “five.” And just after Elliott mouthed something, Koepka flashed fingers. And, of course, everyone used a five iron.Video can be deceiving. Elliott might not have been talking to Woodland's caddie. Also, are we going to make golf rulings off of lip reading? Plus, everyone involved denies it was done.

After closing the issue Thursday, Masters officials on Friday again questioned Koepka, this time about the five fingers he flashed, which Koepka immediately dismissed.Additionally, since Woodley was sitting 22 yards closer to the pin, he probably wouldn’t have hit the same club that Koepka hit. In other words, had Woodland known Koepka hit a five, then he likely would have hit a six because it doesn’t carry as far.
