madeira islands open <sep> ( cnn ) -- should a sporting event be allowed to continue if a key participant dies during competition ? golf 's european tour insisted it should be following the death of alastair forsyth 's caddie iain mcgregor on the final day of the madeira islands open sunday . known affectionately as mac by his friends , mcgregor collapsed on the fairway with a suspected heart attack as forsyth was playing the ninth hole -- the last of his round -- and was later pronounced dead . after an initial indefinite suspension of play , and discussions with a number of players and caddies , the european tour decided the tournament should be completed . everyone at the european tour extends our deepest sympathies to the friends and family of iain at this time , ' read a european tour statement . following consultation with the players and caddies involved , however , it has been decided that play should continue and the tournament should finish . ' forsyth , who revealed the 52-year-old zimbabwean 's death was one of the toughest experiences he has ever had to deal with , backed the european tour 's decision , insisting mcgregor would have expected the show to go on . everybody is in shock . to see that happen to someone in front of your eyes -- i do n't know how or when you get over that , ' forsyth told the european tour 's official website . myself and playing partners adam ( gee ) and tano ( goya ) met tournament officials and spoke to ( european tour chief executive ) george o'grady on the phone before taking the decision to play on , because we felt that was what mac would have wanted . ' forsyth went on to pay a glowing tribute to a friend and colleague that leaves behind a daughter . he was a guy i 've known for 15 years and was very popular amongst the caddies . obviously my thoughts go out to his family at this time . for something like this to happen so suddenly is so sad , ' he said . he 's was far too young for this to happen . he was the life and soul of the caddies'lounge and a nice guy who will be sorely missed . i 'm absolutely numb . ' but while forsyth welcomed the european tour 's decision to play on , it was a move that did not prove to be a unanimous one among the scot 's peers , with sweden 's joel sjoholm , who had previously worked with the caddie , leading the way , expressing his disbelief that the event had continued . sjoholm 's state of shock and disbelief was shared by many . prior to mcgregor 's collapse , the tournament had been reduced to 36 holes due to adverse weather conditions . daniel brooks eventually went on to claim the madeira islands open title , beating scott henry in a playoff at the clube de golf do santo da serra . brooks , however , was unable to bask in the glory of his maiden european tour win , given the day 's tragic events that had occurred earlier in the afternoon . it 's great to get a win , but it 's not nice to do it in these circumstances , ' he told the european tour 's official website . it 's horrible what happened out there so my condolences go out to all of his family .

galactoside <sep> a judge on wednesday ordered that ethan couch -- who drove drunk and caused a crash , killing four people and injuring two -- go to a lock-down residential treatment facility . state district judge jean boyd had already decided the texas teenager would serve no jail time . he was sentenced last year to 10 years'probation . his story made national headlines after a witness claimed couch was a victim of affluenza ' -- the product of wealthy , privileged parents who never set limits for the boy . that particular defense , however , played no part in the judge 's decision , couch 's lawyer told reporters on wednesday . court proceedings were closed to the public . she ( boyd ) said it ( affluenza ) , and specifically mentioned that that was not a basis for her decision , ' said attorney reagan wynn . she heard all the evidence and she made what she thought was the appropriate disposition . ''affluenza'defense psychologist :'i wish i had n't used that term' the judge ordered that couch 's parents pay for the treatment facility , which was not identified . it was also unclear how long couch might stay there . as part of his probation , the teen must refrain from using drugs or alcohol . he will also not be allowed to drive . if couch violates the terms of his probation , he could face up to 10 years behind bars . i think he can be rehabilitated given intensive therapy and i hope that he gets it , ' wynn said about the teen . the juvenile system is about rehabilitation and if it 's going to be about rehabilitation , she ( boyd ) absolutely made the right decision . ' eric boyles , who lost his wife and daughter in the crash , disagrees . he told reporters he has no doubt that money played a role in the case . steering teen drivers out of harm 's way ' had he ( couch ) not had money to have the defense there , to also have the experts testify , and also offer to pay for the treatment , i think the results would have been different , ' he said wednesday after the proceedings . last june , his wife , hollie boyles , and daughter , shelby , left their home to help breanna mitchell , whose suv had broken down . brian jennings , a youth pastor , was driving past and also stopped to help . all four were killed when the teen 's pickup plowed into the pedestrians on a road in burleson , south of fort worth . couch 's vehicle also struck a parked car , which then slid into another vehicle headed in the opposite direction . opinion :'affluenza'is n't as crazy as it sounds two people riding in the bed of the teen 's pickup were tossed in the crash and severely injured . one is no longer able to move or talk because of a brain injury , while the other suffered internal injuries and broken bones . according to prosecutors , three hours after the crash , tests showed couch had a blood alcohol content of 0.24 , three times the legal limit . there has been nothing from ethan from these proceedings with regards to remorse on his part at all -- that i do think would have helped . it would have helped the victims . no doubt about it , it would have helped , ' said boyles . prosecutors were similarly disappointed with the judge 's decision . they had asked for the maximum of 20 years behind bars . this has been a very frustrating experience for me , ' said prosecutor richard alpert . i 'm used to a system where the victims have a voice and their needs are strongly considered . the way the system down here is currently handled , the way the law is , almost all the focus is on the offender .
