2016 US Open Discussion Thread

[Well Played]

Decision is pretty well written, put it up Fox instead of sensationalism. Let people see the damn rule. As usual folks on here up in arms without reading the rule or the decision. Fox getting an F for this one. Tweets from players that don't know the rules mean zip.

 

You're right, dude. Rickie, Rory, Jordan...These guys know nothing about the rules of golf. Stop it. Just stop it.

What are the chances that the USGA didn't want to have to deal with why Lowry was penalized but DJ wasn't so they came to the conclusion that it was best if they top 2 players in the tournament both had the same 1 stroke penalty to make that conversation moot?

[Hawkeye77]

Is it not the players responsibility to call it? He said he didn't and maybe i am naive but i don't see DJ as a cheater. He has some character flaws but cheating doesn't seem to be one of them.

 

No.

this is absolutely fricken pathetic

[Ash1974]

Midnight here in the UK and I have two kids to get to school early doors tomorrow, then work, was going to stay up till the bitter end.

USGA ruling has ruined this for me, so they can Foxtrot Oscar, I am off to bed.

[Roadking2003]

im selling f*** the USGA bagtags.....$20 each ....anybody want one!!

 

Are they soft enough to use as toilet paper?

[Sixcat]

Someone I respect alot in the game of golf just told me "in today's litigious society, if DJ loses on that penalty stroke, a gambler who bet on DJ is going to sue the USGA".

When DJ almost made that par putt was that Faxon yelling 'come on!' in the booth rooting for him? Awesome

 

Yes. Faxon is fired up. Zinger is too, but staying calm.

He didn't violate the rule. That's why it is so freaking ridiculous.

Can you imagine a replay official calling back a touchdown, then after the game they change their minds and decide it was a touchdown after all? The team that won is informed they actually lost.

[Chilidog]

I'm not sure you do.

@USGA treatment of @DJohnsonPGA absolutely shocking. No way he made the ball move.

If you are DJ, you assume the penalty will be given, give yourself 30 seconds to get back to a playing frame of mind and go forward.

 

Last 2 drives have been crap.

[SunDevil009]

Cmon DJ. Choke baby, choke.

 

Stay classy playa!

 

Playa is the worst part of GolfWRX just like D'Annunzio is the worst part of Caddyshack. Very fitting avatar.

Well done USGA

[poppyhillsguy]

DJ needs to stop feeling sorry for himself. If he felt he didnt cause it to move, he should have faith the score wont be changed and simply play on. USGA did right thing informing him it would be under review.

 

How do you know he is feeling sorry for himself?

[Bigmean]

Ok, we all know this is bullsh*t with DJ

 

Can Austin calm him and get him through this?

 

Was just thinking did AJ look at him and say take this mother&^*er from them and let's do this?

[FiveSixAce]

In that super slow mo, that ball moves precisely when he's putting the putter behind. I think he brushed it. Sucks, but it sure looked like he caused it

[midtalon]

D DAY!

Peace out Jason Day.
