BMW Masters/Shanghai

There was an incident right at the end of the BMW Masters that I found a disturbing breach of golf etiquette and one of the reasons why golf does not televise well. Kristoleff Broberg and Patrick Reed were the club house leaders at -17. The remaining three on the course were playing the 18th, [...]
