A spectator kicked Corey Conners’ ball onto the green at the Presidents Cup. It looked like a save—but did it count?
Officials judged that, without the deliberate intervention, the ball would have finished out of bounds. The result: stroke-and-distance relief, including one penalty stroke.
The stationary-shoe deflection and club-address scenes are AI-generated editorial illustrations, not footage of the tournament or an actual replayed stroke.
