Hope DJ pulls it out.

Man, his driving...mercy.

 

[UK_Dallas]

Touch it. Rooting for Sergio.

 

[CondorCat]

DJ, Lowry, Piercy, Garcia, Day == beards
Spieth, Mickelson, McIlroy == clean shaven

I didn't shave today.

 

[bluthruandthru]

The Scourge!!

 

[Glenn's Take]

Wow. DJ likely to have a penalty stroke coming up after the round.

 

[funKYcat75]

So, when do they make the decision about Johnson's shot? After the round?

 

[CondorCat]

They ought to GO AHEAD and make the decision on the penalty! Whatsup with that?

 

[Glenn's Take]

So, when do they make the decision about Johnson's shot? After the round?

Yes. They want to watch the video with him and they can't do that during the round.

 

[catlanta33]

Jesus these guys don't believe him so they're going to f him. Give him a penalty or not.

 

[funKYcat75]

Terrible situation all around. Hope he pulls away.

 

[bluthruandthru]

It looked like Westwood's caddy was telling DJ that he saw it and didn't ground his club.

That's what I read into that pat on the shoulder. (Wishful thinking)

I'm not sure it matters if someone else vouches for him or not, though.

 

[UK_Dallas]

DJ needs to operate like he is only 1 up. Tied now I guess.

 

[bluthruandthru]

USGA mind touch in full effect.

 

[catlanta33]

DJ going to finish over par. He's barely keeping it together.

 

[bluthruandthru]

It's crap. He needs to know where he stands for strategery purposes. (Obvious)

 

[catlanta33]

Btw, I really wish golf would throw these gaffots that scream stupid **** after every shot out of the tournament . So f'ing weak.

 

[catlanta33]

It's crap. He needs to now where he stands for strategery purposes. (Obvious)

It's just a mental f'ing. He should do exactly what he's been doing but not with the added pressure for no reason.

 

[Glenn's Take]

It's crap. He needs to now where he stands for strategery purposes. (Obvious)

I think they have already made their decision that it will be a penalty. I think it's just a procedural thing where they give the player a chance to look at the film and explain themselves.

 

[UK_Dallas]

So, if DJ disagrees with them and says eff it and signs the scorecard as it is, they could DQ him?

 

[bluthruandthru]

Spieth, McIlroy and Fowler weighing in on the Twitter.

Solidarity!!!!!

 

[funKYcat75]

If they're telling all the players that there might be a penalty, then they're going to penalize him.

 

[TruBluCatFan]

Did you see the tweets of Spieth, McIlroy and Fowler. They are right. They just mind effed him out of a championship. Complete and utter ******** move by the USGA.

 

[TruBluCatFan]

All I want now is for DJ to win and tell the USGA to kiss his *** during the trophy presentation.

 

[bluthruandthru]

I've got the Sky sports feed and the color guy(not sure who it is) is upset.

Not only because he disagrees with the possible ruling but because the officials are not sharing their info with the announcers so they can pontificate. "We need to know!"

   This is ridiculous... No penalty whatsoever for DJ. Let the guy play without this crap in his head. Amateur hour from @USGA

   Lemme get this straight.. DJ doesn't address it. It's ruled that he didn't cause it to move. Now you tell him he may have? Now? This a joke?
   

 

[catlanta33]

Day is done.

 

[TruBluCatFan]

The USGA is getting blasted on Twitter. Rightfully so.

Rulings like this need to be made promptly by officials. They've managed to ruin the competitive dynamics of the last round.

 

[ukalum01]

Golf is a game of honor and the rule was changed to defer to the player to be honorable. Not only are they hanging this over his head but they're calling him a liar... and there's nothing worse to be called in golf.

 

[TruBluCatFan]

Amazing to me how the news has seemed to mess with everyone else's head too.

 

[catlanta33]

Huge putt. F'ing huge.

 

[TruBluCatFan]

Hell of a putt!

 

[bluthruandthru]

Btw, I really wish golf would throw these gaffots that scream stupid **** after every shot out of the tournament . So f'ing weak.

Get with the times. Shouting is chic.

Take your mashie and niblick and hit the bricks.

 

[MacCard]

So, if DJ disagrees with them and says eff it and signs the scorecard as it is, they could DQ him?

He wouldn't do that, but they modified the rule slightly this year so that I don't think it would be a DQ situation.

 

[mhroe1984]

Anybody notice the guy in the stands at the 18th wearing the UK shirt? There was a group of guys chanting "USA, USA" as DJ approached the 18th tee and one of them was wearing a white "always reppin" UK shirt.

 

[catlanta33]

Holy ****! Dart!

 

[Glenn's Take]

Congrats to DJ. I'm glad the BS didn't get to him. A very well deserved victory. The USGA should give him a huge thank you for avoiding a complete ****storm which would have happened,

 

[TruBluCatFan]

He wouldn't do that, but they modified the rule slightly this year so that I don't think it would be a DQ situation.

Not if they tell him it's a penalty and says eff you and signs for a score w/o penalty.

Unreal. And DJ finally winning a major is awesome too.
