Footballer Gareth Bale’s golf ball was stolen on the green by a dog during the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
According to Rule 9.6 in the USGA’s handbook: “If it is known or virtually certain that an outside influence (including another player in stroke play or another ball) lifted or moved a player’s ball at rest, there is no penalty, and the ball must be replaced on its original spot (which if not known must be estimated).”
