Rules of Golf - January 2023 =>

187 21.3d Exception to Rule 11.2 in Par/Bogey Rule 11.2 does not apply in this situation: If a player’s ball in motion needs to be holed to tie the hole and any person deliberately deflects or stops the ball at a time when there is no reasonable chance it can be holed, there is no penalty to that person and the player loses the hole. 21.3e When Round Ends in Par/Bogey A player’s round ends when the player: • Holes out on their final hole (including correction of a mistake, such as under Rule 6.1 or 14.7b), or • Chooses not to hole out on the final hole or has already lost the hole. 21.4 Three-Ball Match Play 21.4a Overview of Three-Ball Match Play Three-Ball Match Play is a form of match play where: • Each of three players plays an individual match against the other two players at the same time, and • Each player plays one ball that is used in both of their matches. The Rules for match play in Rules 1-20 apply to all three individual matches, except that these specific Rules apply in two situations where applying the Rules in one match might conflict with applying them in another match. 21.4b Playing Out of Turn If a player plays out of turn in any match, the opponent who should have played first may cancel the stroke under Rule 6.4a(2). If the player played out of turn in both matches, each opponent may choose whether to cancel the stroke in their match with the player. If a player’s stroke is cancelled only in one match: • The player must continue play with the original ball in the other match. • This means the player must complete the hole by playing a separate ball in each match.
