146th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale

[OBbogey5]

Put him on the shot clock now for God's Sakes

[granite45]

Matt is out there having a picnic, making a sandwich.

 

If he loses anything in his game after this, he has a serious case against how this was handled...

 

There is 5 minutes to find the ball, declare it unplayable, drop, and take your lumps for one of the worst professional tee shots ever... this is NOT golf.

[nix]

Titlest marketing folks crapping their pants at the prospect of him hitting this tight with their truck in the shot.

[TheYipS]

This is bizarre. Seriously, just re-tee it man, take the double and hope to make some birdies later, plenty of holes left.

He can't once the ball has been found can he?

[DatSliceDoe]

I actually agree with Miller here. Should have re-teed. Should also be assessed a slow play penalty imo.

[texcrom]

Is there no out of bounds on this course?

[the bishop]

Stupid

[PGArox]

Not good for golf.

[salt]

I thought tour vans have to leave the property by the beginning of the tournament. Was I wrong?

[Man_O_War]

this is ridiculous...should not be allowed. should be within 5 minutes after ball is found. new rule needed

[triplebogeyblues]

I just realized Spieth actually has a logo

[bladehunter]

Damn near hit a great shot.

[OBbogey5]

If this group was warned before, what now?!

[salmon1a]

Kuchar's to lose - can he handle the pressure?

[Vindog]

Crazy

[legitimategolf]

Reminiscent of Winged Foot.

yes

[TJbasket]

Yes because we need more rules in golf

[Man_O_War]

If Spieth gets free relief because of that cable cam, that would be the most ridiculous bullxxxx ever

 

I can't believe what I'm watching either...

 

Now the worst drop, BY FAR, was tiger's Firestone drop from the freaking roof..

 

 

where do you think Tiger should have dropped it at? your house?

[bladehunter]

this is ridiculous...should not be allowed. should be within 5 minutes after ball is found. new rule needed

 

 

Why it isn't him holding process up. It's waiting for officials and then waiting for ruling from officials.

[fr0sty]

How many holes are they behind now?

[DatSliceDoe]

That was truly bizzare and painful to watch.

[deadsolid...shank]

Wow. Any chance Speith wins this? He really looks out of sorts.

[toddnt]

So can Kuch go ahead and hit.....?

 

Kuch's ball is on the green. lol

Haaa. Would have never known, all Ive seen is JS since coming outta kitchen!

[triplebogeyblues]

Rory should win PGA. He gave this tournament away.

[whr]

Not good for golf.

 

Golf will be fine. Certainly made it more interesting.

[bladehunter]

If this group was warned before, what now?!

Warned again. That's all

[irvnasty]

Two commercial breaks for one shot. May as well throw that in as Rule #whatever. If I have to be convinced twice to drink Michelob Ultra in the time it takes you to hit one shot, you either have to keg-stand Michelob Ultra or take a one-shot penalty.

[Freight-train]

Studid is right he should have hit another ball from the tee, they should not have allowed him to hold up the tournament for 30 minutes.

Hidden behind the dunes apparently
