MGA Quiz 2018 • Q 11

11. Players A and B are competing against C and D in a four-ball match. On the 5th hole, Player A hits his approach shot to 2 feet and his opponents concede the birdie. Player B has a chip from just off the green for an eagle; Player C has a 5 foot putt for birdie; and Player D is out of the hole. Player B hits his chip shot thin and his ball begins rolling past the hole with significant speed. Player D stops and lifts the ball just before it rolls off the green. Player C gets up and taps in his putt for birdie. Players A and B make a claim to the committee. 

The committee should rule that:

A. Player D is disqualified from the hole for exerting influence on a moving ball; Player B must replay his stroke.

B. B may cancel and replay his stroke, or estimate where the ball would’ve ended and place the ball on that spot.

C. A & B win the hole.

D. The hole is halved.
