On November 25th, 1923, Art Wall was born in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. His greatest achievement was to win the 1959 US Masters in which he started the final round six strokes behind Arnold Palmer and Stan Leon ard. With a closing 66, his only sub-70 round in the Masters up to that point, Wall capitalised on a six from Palmer at the short 12th and on an aggregate of 284, finished a stroke clear of Cary Middlecoff with Palmer a stroke further back.

Teaser: In strokeplay, a competitor, unable to find his ball in a water hazard, drops another ball behind the hazard under Rule 26-1b and plays it. He then finds his original ball in the hazard. Not being sure of his rights, he plays out both balls under Rule 3-3, opting to score with the original ball. What is the ruling?

Answer: When the competitor dropped the ball behind the hazard, that ball became the ball in play. The score with that ball was the competitor's score for the hole. The score with the original ball could not count because that ball was no longer the ball in play. However, the competitor incurs no penalty for playing out with the original ball.
