Tiger Woods came in to the 2013 Masters as the hottest player in the planet, with his success relatively arranged with the chance to put on yet another green coat. And although the week's motion isn't over at Augusta National, it appears more than likely that Woods will keep the hallowed program without another name to his namea'something that will likely be talked about in the same word because the phrase "bizarre, two-stroke penalty." Woods was penalized two photographs for an incorrect decline led to an illegal chance on the 15th hole, which led to on the second time him signing an incorrect scorecard. The largest controversy surrounding it all was that, because of some loophole, Woods was only punished the two-shot charge. That might seem such as a severe punishment in itself, but set alongside the solution that it seemed Woods was lined upa'disqualificationa'it all concluded effectively for the golfing star. Which, alone, has generated more conflict for Masters officers. Logic indicate when Woods did separate the fall rule, then because the rule book indicates he needs to have been disqualified. If the rule wasn't broken by him, then he did face any punishment at all, didn't sign an incorrect scorecard and should not hit an illegal chance. Tim Redington/Getty Pictures The fact he has been disciplined indicates that the star didAin fact break the rules, yet the tournament officials were wary of the situation on hand.AAfter all, Woods is the draw card to the tournamenta'he is the marquee playera'and disqualifying him from any action would mean that the Masters lost a few of it's appeal and appeal from the daily fans who only follow Woods. And as a side position, who was it viewer who snitched on Tiger? We will never know that for sure and I'm not one wanting to distribute cynicism.AIn truth, what needs to happen isn't cynicism but closure.AThe debate and speculation surrounding Woods needs to come quickly to an enda'regardless of who was simply "more right." He made a negative fall, he was tried for ita'end of story. With this debate and speculation about what might have been as the Masters isn't doing Woods any favors. Actually, it's detracting from his exceptional year up to now and hurting his picture as the greatest player currently playing the game today. David Cannon/Getty Images Woods has been nothing in short supply of exceptional in 2013a'winning numerous tournaments and showcasing some really outstanding hitting. He has not shot poor models, he's not fallen into the inconsistencies that affected his sport (and his head) for so several years. Tiger has gained the No to himself. 1 standing in the world from Rory McIlroya'earning himself a shocking 194 points in 2013 so far (per Official World Golf Ranking). In contrast, only two other participants in the top 50 have received 100 factors or more, and neither of them are even near to Woods' 194, or the No. 1 rank that the American star now finds herself in. Whether Woods could have won the Masters or not without the two-stroke penalty is something that we shall never know and shouldn't speculate on. For every time that we do, we take away the incredible activities of Woods in 2013 and how spectacular his rise back once again to the top of the world has been. Even if he doesn't have a fresh green jacket to enhance his collection. Hit me up on Twitter for more sports goodness:
