Looking at the replay, the ball moved backwards. How could he have caused the ball to move?

I would think the USga is pulling for DJ to have two stroke lead at the end .....

Wind Gust deflected off of his clubhead impacted the ball thus the ball moved.

By the letter of "The Law" That fulfills "player was responsible" for ball moving.

Clubhead is a part of "The Player"

He gets the penalty.

Heck, my ball moves ten feet all the time after a bad shot and I have yet to be penalized yet.

They better have the Bus loaded up, gassed up engine started their asses IN IT if he sin't leading by 2 at that point.

And they better fly out of that private airport over by the River cuz they don't wanna be out in the open.

If they cost him this.



Its not Fair.

They are all starting to fall back into Furyk territory. I wouldn't want to get into a playoff with that cold blooded bulldog.

I know right! Not too good when two other Top 5 golfers in the World are calling the USGA "amateurish".

Still not sure if the USGA is seeing it this way. I guess we'll find out when it's over...But my money is on a playoff..
