2016 U.S. Women's Open

I just want to know whether the USGA is using super HD close ups on every shot that every player hits on every hole.

 

Is this analysis being applied fairly???

[tbowles411]

I wouldn't want to win like that.

Nor would I. You can't REALLY say you won it IMO.

[AppAlum]

Feels like they should have waited until Brittany hit her third.

[Argonne69]

Another major tournament wrecked by superfluous rules infractions.

 

This is worse. DJ's penalty didn't actually change the outcome.

[Argopo]

Just not right. Not fair play.

 

 

[SwooshLT]

NO MORE LIVE TV! who in the world saw that?

[CDLgolf]

Unless all shots by all players are scrutinized that close I don't see how that can be fair.

We all know the answer to this. If you're just a journeyman player, you're never on camera. If you're a name or in a big spot, the camera sees EVERYTHING.

[SMAKCruiser]

Slow mo cameras and fat slugs on their couches should never be used to determine rules violations

Pretty basic violation, get over it.

I think Joe Buck relishes this drama and should probably work for the USGA idiots

I wouldn't go that far.

[Cozdog]

USGA must be high on drugs or something, timing on communicating the penalty so that it gave an information advantage to one player over another is so stupid.

 

Obvious pro-America bias going on here.

[I_HATE_SNOW]

Did she intend to do it? If not she must be innocent.

[Singapore Joe]

The USGA web site has changed the score of Nordqvist on #2 to be 6. I see women running 1500m on the TV, don't have Fox and can't find this broadcast anywhere in the net :(

Edit: But I guess this is good enough. Lots of crying people on this channel as well.

[Hawkeye77]

Lang pars, so not an issue in the end, but wish they'd let Anna know sooner if possible.

 

 

[widow-maker]

Lousy way to end a great tournament.

[preiter20]

USGA really is an embarrassment to golf. I'm done watching their tournaments, period.

[SteelPride]

Was that Azinger that just compared this to an NFL game?

 

Not true.

[rainkingjr]

Score one for the big fellas. Her hubby is a biggin'

 

 

 

 

As for the rule. It's needs to be re-defined to include intent. Moving a grain of sand is not what I consider grounding. What if someone is in a lateral hazard with long grass and the wind blows a blade of grass which makes contact with the club? Did a person ground it in that situation?Grounding a club is a pretty deliberate action. Stupid rule and the USGA sucks once again for how they handled the situation.

Man, at what point do I cancel my usga membership?

[canadianglen]

Personally, I am very happy for Brittany and Luke. Two of the coolest, most personable, fan-friendly teams out there.

She is now, by quite a bit, the top Blue Devil to play the LPGA.

[RBImGuy]

Anna made a rookie mistake to get in that bunker.

That was the mistake.

[Hawkeye77]

Man, at what point do I cancel my usga membership?

 

It will expire all by itself.

[J-Blade]

USGA can't seem to get it right. STOP f'n play until such time the decision is made. Idiots.

 

Totally agree.. Name one other sport where the officials look at a replay and don't stop play until the make a decision.

[mallrat]

Shame on the USGA. Can we put an end to call in penalties yet?

 

Great to see all the "mean girls" lined up to congratulate her.

[Singapore Joe]

Is there a reason this is not on Golfchannel? USGA web site just tells you pretty bluntly to to watch Fox for live coverage.

Except if she was wasn't told she may have tried the hero shot to take the win and dumped it it the water, she changed club and hit it long cause she knew the situation where Anna did not.

[preiter20]

I hope Diana isn't tipsy again.

Maybe a bit strong, I admit. But the situation was taken from you. A rule was broken. Fine. But you know now, something happened and you may have a shot, possibly two to play with. That changes your mindset and what you do. It's just the way I see it. We can disagree and still be buddies. :)
