Chappell's ball finds TV tower at Presidents Cup; Twitter reacts
Rule 13: The ball must be played as it lies.
Kevin Chappell had an interesting 10th hole in his Sunday singles match at the Presidents Cup after he sent his tee shot into a TV tower behind the putting surface.
With the tower positioned in a hazard, the American was left with no other option but to try playing the ball from inside a coiled camera cable.
