Tiger Woods takes to Twitter to respond to his rules situation at the Masters
Saturday is normally known as Moving Day, but the only thing people are talking about on this third round at the Masters is the rules book.
That's because of what happened on Friday with Tiger Woods, who took a questionable drop on the 15th hole and landed a two-shot penalty because of it. We've weighed in on the situation, but now it's time to hear from Tiger himself.
