Overview

• Min Woo Lee received a one-stroke penalty on the 13th hole at Augusta National after officials determined his actions caused the ball to move.
• The penalty, applied under USGA Rule 9.4b, turned a potential par into a bogey and contributed to Lee’s third-round score of 77.
• Entering the Masters fresh off a Houston Open victory, Lee’s fall to 4-over par has effectively ended his chances of competing for the title.
• The ruling has sparked mixed reactions, with some fans praising Lee’s honesty in reporting the incident and others criticizing the strict enforcement of the rule.
• Lee, now tied for 48th, will be among the earlier groups teeing off in Sunday’s final round at Augusta National.
