Thomas Tizzy: Maybe We Should Let Pros Repair Spikes Marks?

/

I've been crafting a few thoughts for an eventual post on the proposed rule change for spike mark tapping. But after belatedly seeing Justin Thomas lose his cool in Mexico over a blemish by creating more damage to the green, maybe this explains the rule change: allow players to tap so they don't dent the green to let us all know their putt took a bad bounce. After all, it's a time-honored tradition that will not be missed with the rule change!

Interestingly, Thomas was one of the players to voice concern over the proposed change.
