The Rule

The text of PGA Rule 8-2b, which almost cost PGA Championship leader John Daly a two-stroke penalty Saturday:

On the putting green:

When the player’s ball is on the putting green, the player, his partner or either of their caddies may, before but not during the stroke, point out a line for putting, but in so doing, the putting green shall not be touched. No mark shall be placed anywhere to indicate a line for putting.

Penalty for breach of rule:

Match play--loss of hole; Stroke play--two strokes.
