Na自己也担心同组的人会不会的精神病。
我倒是替Kuchar 担心星期天最后一轮天黑以前能否打完18洞…
昨天评球的说，和Kevin同组的Zach Johnson打球时干脆"turning his back to Kevin"，估计也是忍无可忍，没准连成绩也受了影响。裁判在场上给了Kevin一个warning，说他had bad time on hole 16。根据规则，一场比赛连续得两个warning，就要罚杆了。不过今天（星期天）并不累计前一天的warning，他还有一次机会
。不过Kevin Na这次比赛成绩不俗，67，69，68，领先一杆进入最后一天，如果他最终得冠，那就更有意思了。

When Is A Swing Not A Stroke? Posted: 10/4/2011
By John Van der Borght
During the third round of the 2011 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas, Nev., Kevin Na was playing the par-4 15th hole. As he started the downswing for his tee shot, he felt something was amiss. He continued the swing, but purposely missed his ball. Did the swing count as a stroke?
The definition of a stroke in the Rules of Golf is the “forward movement of the club made with the intention of striking at and moving the ball, but if the player checks his downswing voluntarily before the clubhead reaches the ball he has not made a stroke.”
Decision 14/1.5 asks, if a player who begins his downswing with the intention of striking the ball decides during the downswing not to strike the ball and is unable to stop his swing, but swings over the top of the ball instead, has he made a stroke? The answer is that altering the path of the swing to miss the ball is the same as checking the downswing as we occasionally see Tiger Woods do. If Na had hit the ball, the stroke would have counted even if he stated that he had intended to miss it. Additionally, if the player missed the ball, but there is any doubt as to the player’s intention the stroke would count.
In his interview after the round, Na stated that he has purposely altered his swing to miss the ball in the past and has discussed this with PGA Tour officials. They are comfortable with his statement that he did not intend to strike the ball.
