2016 US Open Discussion Thread

[whr]

The ball moved backwards. How could he have caused the ball to move in that direction?

 

I thought the exact same thing.

Rickie agrees, its BS.

 

Just imagine if this were Tiger. The reaction would be insane!

[KILLEDBYASHANKEDWEDGE]

The ruling on the field stands. Rules chairman who put the psyops move on Johnson obviously owes Phil's bookie.

[SlickT73]

I'm cheering for Sergio at this point, but if they screw Johnson out of this, I really hope people lose it on the USGA. It is embarrassing to watch a supposed rules expert spout garbage on TV.

[Bigmean]

Jeff hall (Usga guy) on national tv just sounded like a bumbling idiot/liar (I know he is not, but couldn't be less confident in the crap they want to enforce). This is was golf doesn't need. People, casual fans, are not going to be into this crap. Frankly nor am I as not even a DJ fan but a serious enthusiast that plays and knows the game. This whole talk to him on tee and crap, this is poorly handled. And no one else knows?

 

I hope DJ shreds the final holes.

[buckeyefl]

That's why I'm not a member of the USGA.

Yep, stopped supporting them long ago.

[OldBridge]

Sadly Garcia drops a stroke.

 

Rooting hard for DJ at this point due to this debacle.

[TheLarch]

I have a USGA headcover for my 3 wood. It's now out on the curb with tomorrow's trash to be picked up. This is like someone from work calling you on vacation with bad news and telling you not to think about it.

[knock it close]

LET THE KIDS PLAY

[King_Slender]

Yes , his littler was close on the practice strokes and the ball did not move. When he brought the putter behind and had not yet soled it, it rolled backwards and Westwood backed up DJ - I don't know how you could call that.

[bruinsPATSirish]

I can't believe that the USGA is doing what they're doing here.

 

And I am not sure how I feel about the official telling Dustin they may be assessing a penalty stroke. They might as well just do it and move on because they CLEARLY have made up their mind. Unbelievable

[RH82]

A sinister power seems to e following DJ in majors

[Ash1974]

I was rooting for Lowry or Sergio, now I want DJ to win.

WTF are the USGA doing... DJs head must be f***** now and he has the back 9 to play...

 

[SterlingArcher]

This is why I will never renew my USGA membership. Absolutely disgusting.

[mgholda]

Firstly, the ball movement was not caused by DJ. Secondly, he called in a official who confirmed he was not at fault. End of story. Except this is the USGA and everything is f'd up. Anyone wonder why golf participation is on the decline?

[Jasonic]

So you ask the CHAIRMAN of the rules committee over and still don't know what the ruling will be? So messed up to tell him he might be penalized. Really really stupid USGA

[buckeyefl]

Pros going off on the USGA on twitter. Hopefully they'll come to their senses.

Not a chance. Their view from on high of the golf world would never let the USGA admit being idiots.

[Bigmean]

Late to the party on this but glad everyone is feeling the same...

[OldBridge]

I can only imagine what Johnny Miller would have told that dude.

[MarkFromTheUK]

It's a conspiracy. Shame on you, USGA.

[ne26]

Sure sounds like these a**h***s already made up their mind.

 

My few bucks don't mean jack to the USGA but this is just another reason to justify not being a member.

[midtalon]

If you don't replace a ball you moved, and then play it...are you deemed disqualified?

[ArkJag]

Honest to God, this BS could ONLY happen to Dustin. First the "bunker" at Whistling Straits and now this. Good grief.

[rtran]

Stay on the grind DJ u can do this!

[larssonlegend]

My feelings as well

Jordan, Rory also call the usga a joke of Twitter.

I agree. Mike Davis and Co. will dig their heels in and stand firm if they get pushback from players.

[doctorbloor]

Why is it always something ...

 

No one can create their own drama like the USGA.

[bladehunter]

holy crap am i pissed i watched every second of this 4 day fiasco to see it pissed to the wind by the USGA boobs.. just wow .. cannot believe this ....

[McCann1]

DJ is getting flustered...I hope he regains his composure. Too many shaky shots after that ruling
