STATEMENT FROM R&A CHIEF EXECUTIVEMARTIN SLUMBERS
ON THE LI HAOTONG RULING
Martin Slumbers, Chief Executive of The R&A, said, “We havereviewed the Li Haotong ruling made by the European Tour referees and agreethat it was correct. There has been some misunderstanding of the new Rule and Iwould point out that it is designed to prevent any opportunity for the caddieto stand behind the player as he begins to take his stance. Whether the playerintends to be lined up is not the issue. We appreciate that it was a veryunfortunate situation yesterday and I completely understand Keith Pelley'sconcerns when a Rules incident occurs at such a key stage of a European Tourevent but there is no discretionary element to the Rule precisely so that it iseasier to understand and can be applied consistently.
“We are continuing to monitor the impact of the new Rules but Imade it clear to Keith that our focus is very much on maintaining the integrityof the Rules for all golfers worldwide.”
Ends.

R&A首席执行官马丁-斯朗伯斯（Martin Slumbers）关于李昊桐判罚的声明
R&A首席执行官斯朗伯斯（Martin Slumbers）表示：“我们已经审查了欧巡赛裁判对李昊桐的违规判罚，并认同这是正确的。关于外界对新规则存在的误解，我要说明新规则就是为了防止球童有任何机会一开始站在球员身后。球员是否打算参照这条直线并不是核心问题。我们很同情昨天发生这个不幸的事件，我完全理解基斯-佩里（Keith Pelley）对于在欧巡赛的关键阶段发生的规则事件而产生的顾虑，但正是由于规则中没有任何可以自由酌情的元素才使得它更容易理解及得以贯彻始终。
“我们正在继续观察新规则的影响，但我已向基斯明确表示，我们的重点是向全球所有高尔夫球手保证规则的纯洁性。”
