Tiger runs afoul of Muirfield marshal

Tiger Woods was reprimanded by a marshal Monday during a practice round at Muirfield.

Woods, who played the front nine on Sunday, planned to start off of No. 10 early Monday morning. But after Woods hit two drives, a marshal ordered him off the tee box, according to a report published Monday by The Sun.

A sign near the tee box stated that play on the back nine at Muirfield before 7 a.m. was prohibited in order for the grounds crew to work on the course.

So what did Woods do instead? He went back to the front nine and played until 7 a.m. passed. Then he went to No. 11 and finished his practice round from there.
