BMW CHAMPIONSHIPSeptember 6, 2012Graeme McDowellCARMEL, INDIANA Q.  It's like finding a bug in a beer sometimes, isn't it? GRAEME McDOWELL: Yeah, disappointing way to end the day. I pulled my second shot on 8 there, which was really nice, 155‑yard 9‑iron, one‑hopped it in, and I kind of spun out my second shot with a 9‑iron into the right trap, and a very unusual scenario when I've got a small branch behind my ball with a leaf attached to it, and in the process of addressing my golf ball, I grazed the top of the leaf, and I'm deemed to have touched a loose impediment in a hazard, which is a two‑shot penalty. Despite the fact that nothing has moved, the lie hasn't improved, I just didn't give the branch enough respect. I've never seen that scenario before. Q. Were you aware of it at the time? GRAEME McDOWELL: Getting into the bunker, my caddie said to me, "You know you can't touch that branch, right?" I thought he meant of course I can't remove that branch. I just didn't give it enough respect, and the second that I grazed it, we both knew perhaps we might be in trouble. It was just kind of one of those moments where I've never seen that scenario before. It's a tough lesson. Q. Obviously a lot of positives to take out of today, though. You're still in good shape. It's hard to muster that right now I would imagine. GRAEME McDOWELL: Yeah, I played lovely today. I gave myself a ton of chances, drove the ball well. I had a new Cleveland driver in the bag this week which I hit really well. I gave myself a load of chances. It was a strong finish, very happy, and I'd have taken 4‑under par today.
