Ross Fisher issued with a one shot penalty for taking too long over a putt whilst in contention. Finally some action over slow play, but it'll be controversial. Looking like a Jaidee win.

Ross spat his dummy out after the round. Felt he was unjustly penalised.

Good win for Jaidee even if he does play Callaway!

Wow, first I had read about this. When watching yesterday his group was on the clock for most of the round, so i'm not totally surprised that he got a penalty, but at such a critical point in the round does surprise me a little.

Hopefully it will send a message to the players that slow play will not be tollerated!

Shame for Fisher - good for the game!

Have to say i've just watched this back and wayne riley was on course watching them, he was aware of Fisher's bad time the hole before and was surprised by how long fish took to play his iron shot in, he then clearly took too long over the putt too. Fisher almost certainly thought he would not be penalised and thats why he kept playing slowly (and he was slooow) if he doesn't do it again and others now feel more pressure to speed it up a bit, it can only be a good thing.
