In addition to the types of interference described in Rule 16.1a, interference also exists if an immoveable obstruction is: on the player\u2019s line of play, and is within 2 club-lengths of the putting green, and is within 2 club-lengths of the ball.

If a player\u2019s ball is in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots that are in a part of the general area that is cut to fairway length or less, or in the rough within 4 club lengths of the edge of the ground cut to fairway height, the tree roots are ground under repair.
