@zzdoghog Actually you're the one who is wrong. They never counted his intentional "whiff" if you'd like to coin it that as a stroke nor have they ever because he was able to voluntarily check his swing on the downswing and therefore never advanced the golf ball even though the clubhead proceeded passed (over top) of it. It's not like baseball ... so long as you don't make contact regardless of whether you were lined up to tee off or not it's not a stroke unless the ball is struck.

The ball was not yet in play on that hole which is why he did not get penalized, if he had done this on the fairway or green it would have been a penalty. This is very similar to what happens when you accidently knock the ball off the tee before you hit and all your buddies say "one", since there was no intent to strike the ball, there is no penalty. Since there was no intent to strike the ball and the ball is not yet in play, even if he had made contact there would have been no penalty.

Cheating cunt. Should be hung up and shot

I hate when Kevin na is high up on the leaderboard because then u have to watch him do this 4 times per hole. If I would pair with I would go nuts

@123Aodhan why? he didn't try to hit the ball!! it is not a stroke! you really think a professional would miss the ball?
-
@gracethedog48 no you're wrong, if you try to hit the ball and miss it counts as a stroke. in this instance, similar to tiger at augusta, it doesn't count as he is not deemed to have made an attempt to strike the ball. under normal circumstances, if you miss the ball its a stroke!

This is exactly the same is Tiger at Augusta. He didin't try to hit the ball. It does not count as a stroke. Anybody who thinks otherwise is an idiot and knows nothing about golf

@tiggeroo69 No. It's not exactly the same as Tiger at all. Tiger is Tiger and Kevin Na is Kevin Na. Kevin is much less controlled and actually swings through the ball, but 10 inches above it. Tiger controls his swing and stops before he gets through the ball. I'm not saying it was a whiff, but if Kevin continues to do this it may end up in him topping the ball in an attempt to miss it, which would count as a stroke.
