[G50]

1. Doesn't matter. He admitted he purposely didn't drop the ball "as nearly as possible'' to the spot of the original shot, but intentionally dropped it somewhere else. Without his admission, an analysis of exactly how far away the drop was from the original spot might be relevant. But with his admission, it is completely irrelevant.

2. This is what he said: "I went back to where I played it from, but I went 2 yards further back and I took, tried to take two yards off the shot of what I felt I hit.''

3. Yes, he was assessed a 2 stroke penalty for taking an improper drop.

Again, no one - no analyst, fellow competitor, golf pro, or even Tiger himself, disputes that what he did requires a 2 stroke penalty. That's not at all what is being discussed or disputed.
