So did the USGA basically say their Open Champ is a liar??

DJ says he did not touch the ball. The replay does not show that he did (IMO replays more back up DJs claim) yet the USGA assesses the penalty because a reasonable assumption that he did.

It used to be a gentlemen's game

If he touched it or caused it to move, why did it roll backwards?

I'll never understand the logic behind that ruling.. The ball went backwards and unless it was magnetized to his putter it wouldn't have done that while not even grounded.. They really deserve tremendous amounts of scorn for the ruling and their handling of the matter..

The USGA lucked out today because DJ and Cavs won.
They are the true losers of the day.

I always thought that this ruling would come down to what the player says. it didn't seem like there was conclusive evidence to rule against him on this one, especially since he said he didn't cause the ball to move.

They only added the penalty because he won by multiple strokes.
That sit down with the rules guy was an absolute disaster for the PGA and Fox.

The USGA couldn't have looked worse. Every single player thought it was a joke and let them know it. Glad it worked out for DJ, he deserved it.

Insert Tiger Woods for Dustin Johnson. What are the chances it plays out the same way? Zero chance they penalize Tiger.

You have rules committee officials all over the course. You have tons of camera angles and videos.
If you empower an individual official to make a call, and he made it, that should be the end of it.
If an individual official is not empowered, then at the end of the hole, you stop the guys, you gather your committee together, you make your decision, and you move on.
I don't know enough about the particulars of golf to say he did or did not deserve a penalty, but this was an insane way of doing it.
