Switched over briefly to the college World Series and didn't see, what did he get relief from?

[ckwL]

 

DJ all smiles after that shot

[larssonlegend]

Then hits it right over the tower he was getting free drop from. Lol

[azgreg]

Birdie time for DJ

That would be a hell of a putt.

An aluminum bat. No wait a tv tower that he hit directly over anyway

Camera tower. All perfectly fine and within the rules but the "rules experts" on the internet are going to be out in force

[tbowles411]

I knew they were Bullshitting us with the 'arnie was hitting balls earlier in the week and decided not to come down because of all the people ".....

I guess it was just hopeful talk to help a prideful man have a little dignity.

[bladehunter]

i don tknow why ...a PW in hand from the fairway.... that was mediocre at best ... all still trying to give it away..nobody really "leading"

Bad karma.

[Rangeballz]

DJ with a 176 yard pitching wedge? Bazinga!

He hit it into the deep junk left but got a line of sight drop unto the adjoining fairway.

Horrendous lie in the thick rough. Was given line of sight relief from TV tower and got to drop in the fairway.

[tbowles411]

Ridiculous drop for DJ. Maybe the golf gods giving payback for Whistling Straits fiasco.

Agreed. Very favorable ruling.

[deadsolid...shank]

LOL @ USGA rules of golf commercial

 

"The rules of golf are evolving"

 

Yeah, basically because you knee jerk react to ban things if anyone wins a major with them.

 

Furyk's -1 is pretty interesting. I don't see it winning....but it's possible

 

I thought if he could post 2 under he had a good chance. Seems like someone will stay there.

[Soloman1]

Lotta golf left...

oh i agree...and Im a Arnie Lover..But the bald faced lie about "hitting balls" is a touch too much dont you think?

[azgreg]

And we got a new leader.

[knock it close]

Blizzard warning issued for Pitt #GolfIsCool

TV camera tower. Line of sight. There really was nothing controversial about it. It's a very simple rule.

[Yellow Jacket]

His brother gave him a bad distance.

[ricknoberts]

I really, really dislike that rule. Shades of Els in '94.

[Dave230]

That drop is ridiculous, soured the event for me.

Yeah. Sad. It's just a reminder that no one lives forever.

[G0lfer83]

I thought it would be one club length when taking a free drop.

[Roadking2003]

Agreed. Very favorable ruling.

 

It wasn't a favorable ruling at all. It was just following the rules. No "ruling" needed.

[bladehunter]

likely true.... and he paced it all off..lol

[Rustynuts]

Would nearest point have been to the right? It seemed he went 5-7 yards left to get line of sight where as might have only been a couple metres right?

[azgreg]

That drop is ridiculous, soured the event for me.

You've never used the rules to your advantage?

[OldBridge]

Yikes. Westwood with 43 on the front side.

 

Piercy doing a nice job holding steady.

[redfirebird08]

Will Westwood break 85?
