　　Q: On completition of the 14th hole in a match between A and B, A wins by 5 and 4. The players continue the round. After the 16th hole, it is discovered by the players that A has 15 clubs in his bag. Before the result of the match has been officially announced, B reports the facts to the Committee and asks for a ruling. Is the claim valid?

　　A: Yes. Although the players had left the putting green of the last hole of the match, Bs claim is based on facts previously unknown to him and he is deemed to have been given wrong information by A (9-2b(i)). The players must return to the 15th hole and resume the match. A is penalized under Rule 4-4a and is three up with four holes to play.

　　问：比洞赛上，A和B在进行第14洞的比赛，A最终以赢5洞剩4洞战胜了B。球员们继续这轮比赛，在第16洞后，球员们发现A的球包里有15支球杆。在比洞赛的比赛结果正式宣布前，B向委员会报告了这件事，并请求用规则处理。B的要求有效吗？

　　答：是的。尽管球员们已经离开了他们这一轮比洞赛最后一洞的果岭，但B的要求是基于事实，而且他事先并不知情，是A给了他错误的信息（规则9-2b(i)）。这两名球员必须回到第15洞，继续比赛。按照规则4-4a的规定，A得被处罚，也就是在还有4洞比赛要打的时候，他领先3洞。
