Did Tiger get a break or what?
Temporary immovable object, moved by outside agency, landing in an obstruction....so you give him a free drop! What about the 5 minute rule for looking for a ball? If the parking lot isn't out of bounds, why not play from the closest point of relief where the ball was found? I'm no rules expert by any means but, I don't think the rules committee really knew what to do on that chain of events.
