Hideki Matsuyama Gets Free Relief After Cart Runs Over Ball At Hero World Challenge

Matsuyama’s tee shot at Albany’s 16th finished in a native area, only for a golf cart to run over the ball and leave it plugged in sand. Rule 9.6, covering a ball moved by an outside influence, let him replace it without penalty. He saved par, carded a six-under 66 and tied the lead at 10 under.
