I thought it was clear of the red line but after the round a rules official showed me a video of my drop and it looked like the ball was on the line. Any part of the ball can’t be on the line nor cross the vertical plane of the line like the first down or endzone."He further shared his frustration with his bad shot.

Luckily it’s not going to affect my standing for next week."Tommy Fleetwood took the lead at the FedEx St. Jude Championship after three rounds.
