"As soon as I saw Rory kick the sand I knew it was a foul and rushed out to ring Chubby"

Nice catch by reader Stan in this Rory McIlroy story by Bernie McGuire, with Darren Clarke commenting on the Masters Friday rules incident:

"Darren Clarke yesterday revealed he attempted to contact McIlroy’s agent after the teenager’s controversial incident in a bunker at the 18th on Friday.

The 19-year-old was called before the Masters Tournament competition committee, and told they were reviewing whether McIlroy kicked the sand — a rules violation.

Clarke revealed: "As soon as I saw Rory kick the sand I knew it was a foul and rushed out to ring Chubby (Chandler). I was hoping I could catch him before he handed in his card."
