Number One Player in the World Doesn't Shake Your Hand

[TheLarch]

So Ted Potter makes his final putt to win the AT&T, hugs his caddie, looks around and Dustin Johnson doesn't bother to shake his hand. If I'm Ted Potter I have to think a congratulatory hand shake on 18 at Pebble Beach from the number one player In the world, who's in the same group as you, would be something special. Absolute no class d**k move. Wow.

[smeech8000]

Let's be honest here, DJ is easily confused... Potter being left handed and all really complicates the post-round shakes.

 

"Do I go in with the left hand? Or make him go to his right? I'll just avoid the situation and not shake..."

Or maybe DJ let Potter have his moment on the green with his caddie and others before shaking his hand and congratulating him in the scoring trailer. Potter was almost instantly pulled aside by Peter Kostis as well after his final putt.

 

Sometimes, the "classy move" is letting a guy who hasnt won a tournament in years soak it in himself, do his winning interviews, and then congratulate him in private.

 

Scandal, I tell you.

I seriously don’t think DJ is the type of guy to snub someone like that. It appeared that Kostis got a hold of Potter before DJ could say anything to him.

I wondered too. The other four guys were able to congratulate him before Kostis got to him. But I also thought maybe DJ was waiting just off,the green and Kostis interfered. The interview should wait until the player is done with everyone (including family members).

 

But DJ didn’t appear to be in real good mood by the end of the round. But I have a really hard time seeing him snub someone purposefully.

[Ferguson]

What's your name DJ - any idea?

[Lagavulin62]

Potter doesn’t strike me as the type to get all blushy faced over a fellow golfer. I doubt it was a snub. Media hounds can be irritating.

[The General]

please post less OP - there's zero chance DJ didn't congratulate Potter off camera. Then again some people think that if they don't see it, it didn't happen. Are you in the media?

Just because you didn't see it happen on camera doesn't mean it didn't happen. You can bet the farm DJ congratulated TP either at the scorer's table, locker room or whenever he got the chance.

"please post less" is the response to a guy averaging 110ish posts per year. Tough crowd!

DJ didn't show up for the prize giving at the 2015 US Open, which wasn't great form, even if he would have been devastated. Second placed player was expected to be there.

[bscinstnct]

Prolly saw some interesting shapes in the clouds and forgot all about shaking hands.

Ah Bro, I didn’t think that anyone could top Cheech’s post though I didn’t see yours till further perusal, lmao

 

I was thinkin the very same thing?

 

Damn, the General brought the hammer down ??

 

It’s a new season and there’s a “new” big dawg barkin orders, though he’s one of the old timers. They’re a hard arse group, they are. The internet was the Wild West in ‘06 and only the baddest mofos in the valley came through to the other side, lmao

 

Cheese balls like you and I owe em a lot?

 

Wait till he reads some of my shat?

 

I hope that you’re well?

 

Maddie and Ava send hugs and all those effed up emoticons?

 

Cheers?

[2putttom]

[Forged4ever]

And at the "everything is a bunker" PGA he let about ten people stand around and interview him in the locker room about ten minutes after it happened. What's your point?

[MMB1500]

The OP's post is symptomatic of today's outrage culture.

 

Jump on someone for some perceived slight (usually imagined) without knowing the full facts, considering the bigger picture or indeed having any personal involvement.

 

This allows the outraged individual to feel self-important, whilst also satisfying a desperate craving for attention.

 

Truly pathetic.

I don't know about tournament play, but every single round of golf I've ever played, competition or social, every player in the group shakes each other's hand before leaving the 18th green. No exceptions.

Well, you know, when DJ saw Tom Brady not shake Foles' hand after the SB win, maybe he thought it was the new norm. Anything's possible.

Let the guy have his moment in the sun. No different than hanging back on 18 walking up to the green when you lost.

Yeah but Brady is a spoiled diva.

 

We never say that about PGA Tour guys.
