Golf fans have been left furious after JJ Spaun exploited a rules loophole during this weekend’s Players Championship.

The American finished joint top with Rory McIlroy as both players registered scores of 12 under at the Players Stadium Course in Florida.

The controversy erupted during the final round when Spaun was chasing down leader McIlroy.

After finding the rough with his second shot on the ninth hole, the American used a sprinkler head rule to gain a significant advantage.
