  Ouch!

  I have seen a couple of those before!  Wonder what in the world is going on there!!!!  At least they should drop you in the fairway!

  Its not showing you as being on the tee . It shows 2nd cut rough 2-5% lie instead of being on the tee . Its truly a bug that WGT needs to fix asap . Also if you watch it in reverse view you will see the ball starts off going hard left and then hitting something and ricocheting off to the right . You got burned from the start on that one .

  in replays... you often see the lie of the balls final resting position not it's position from where it is hit... the reason it shows the 2-5% lie is because it ended up in very light rough on a maintenance trail where the ball appears to settle in light grass that would have remained between the tire tracks of the golf carts or maintenance vehicles. at least from what I could see...

  Replays always show the lie at the finishing position.

  I think an early hit and into the tree, some camera positions make it look more exciting than it really is. Try camera 3.

  I think this is spot on. If one pauses the replay and zooms in, then you can see it's a definite pull where it hits a tree limb. 

  I noticed the pull on 3 too but this was a ding hit right down the middle.. Camera 1 is blatant IMO.. Bounced off thin air :)

  Just noticed something else on camera 3,, the "branch" in the graphic looks like the tree by the tee which in camera 1 shot is no where near the launch angle.. think 3 is misleading.. No branch near the flight leaving the tee on 1
