Failing to read the local rules sheet cost PGA Tour golfer Ryuji Imada a whopping 26 penalty strokes at a tournament in China on Saturday, GolfChannel.com reported.

Imada's 26-shot penalty came as a result of players being allowed to lift, clean and place their balls due to soft conditions on the Blackstone course.

Imada assumed he could place the ball within a club length of its original position, as is standard on the PGA Tour. But the local rules stated that placement had to occur within the length of one scorecard, as is standard on the Asian and European tours, according to GolfChannel.com.

Danny Lee pointed out the error to Imada on the 12th hole and at the end of the round, Imada informed tournament officials that he'd broken the scoring rule, according to the report. Imada couldn't remember exactly how many times he had given himself the more generous placement, but guessed he'd done so 13 times.

So Imada was assessed 13 two-stroke penalties, for a total of 26 penalty strokes and a first-round score of 24-over-par 97, according to the report.

Westwood finishes round 1 at the HSBC WC showing the form that put him at the world #1.

He's currently in second place.

BS1, Sim, et al...any of you guys own a yardage finder? looking at laser link, leupold, etc. wondering if any were preferable...

[BS1]

never used one away from my home course......my father swears by his bushnell V2 ( i think thats the name)

[chiefteam]

I have the V2. It changed my entire golf game this year. Not exaggerating a bit. Id say 5-6 strokes easy

Battery died on me in the middle of a round on monday though, so that wasnt helpful.
