September 22, 2009 In the Match Play Championship, a player and his opponent play their 2nd shot on a par-5 hole.  Unexpectedly, neither ball can be found.  Rather than proceeding under Rule 27-1 for a lost ball, both players agree to a half. What is the ruling? This is acceptable - the hole is halved. Both players are disqualified for agreeing to waive the Rules. The player who made the suggestion loses the hole. The player who made the suggestion incurs a 1 stroke penalty and they must return and finish the hole proceeding under Rule 27-1.
