THE QUESTION OF THE WEEK IS...

Ball hangs over cup between putting surface and leaning flagstick

Larry chipped to the green for birdie. His ball rolled to the hole and came to rest against the leaning flagstick that was not replaced correctly in the hole. The ball was "hung up" between the putting surface and the flagstick with no part of it below the surface of the hole.

When Larry removed the flagstick, the ball fell into the hole. Larry gave a Tiger pump and excitedly declared this was his first birdie on this par-5 hole.

Was Larry correct, was his chip shot holed when he removed the pin and the ball fell in the hole?

A. Yes, Larry's excitement was justified, when he removed the pin and his ball dropped into the cup, his ball was holed.

B. No way. No matter what happens to the ball when he removes the pin, he must place the ball on the lip of the cup and putt out. His ball has to fall below the rim of the cup on its own. He can't hole out based on the variable of pulling the flagstick.
