PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.

Full-field scores from the Honda ClassicHonda Classic: Articles, photos and videosIt didn't break, Thomas said. It kind of hit near the hosel and just kind of sent a little shock up my arm.Thomas ended up making bogey. He shook his right hand a few times on the back nine.Just kind of ice my wrist a little bit tonight, Thomas said. It'll be fine, but I think it was just more of a shock than anything.The 9-iron bent, and Thomas tried to bend it back to its original shape, but he couldnt straighten it satisfactorily.I tried to step on it, tried to do everything I could, Thomas said. It wasnt worth the risk of hitting it and not knowing what was going to happen.So he didnt use it again the rest of the round.That meant hammering a pitch wedge over water when he needed the 9-iron at the 11th. He made par there.The new Rules of Golf change how damaged clubs are treated during a round of play. The new rules allow a player to continue to play with a damaged club. Thomas chose not to try to play with the damaged club.
