PGA officials ruled Tom Watson's clubs used in the Masters and British Open were illegal due to groove width. The Royal and AncientGolf Club said Watson's victory stands, with no retroactive action. Other players' clubs were also checked. Watson, Floyd, and Player had excess grooves but acted to verify gear. Watson confirmed the clubs used in those wins and prepared a backup set for Pebble Beach.
