He singles out one player in particular, but doesn't name him. I'm sure somebody can figure out who he is referring to.

John Peterson straight called Billy Mayfair for cheating on a podcast last year. Said he moves his mark and doesn't put the ball in the same spot that he marked it. Don't know if that is who he is talking about or not.

It's not doing Billy Mayfair much good ... I didn't even know he was still on the tour. He hasn't done much in the last 7 years.

My first thought was Spencer Levin because he wears baggy shirts but not sure he used a long putter

Spencer hasn't used a long putter since around 2012. Also, has no rep as a cheater

What about Adam Scott?

I figured it wasn't him but when I read baggy shirt I immediately though of him.

Just the other day, a buddy told me one from a recent weather delay. The horn sounds, and my buddy and another guy elect to finish the hole. The third player, whose ball is in a gnarly divot hole in the fairway, chooses to stop. The next morning, when they resume the round, my buddy is waiting by the green and says to his caddie, "No way this mother------ puts the ball back where it was." Sure enough, the shot comes sizzling into the green and spins back 10 feet—which is impossible from a divot. The guy goes on to finish well that weekend and rakes in a bunch of money and FedEx Cup points that should've gone to someone else.
When did they change the rule that you can finish out a hole with a weather delay?
It's always been immediate stoppage for weather. Can finish out hole due to darkness.

It's at the discretion of the tournament. A non dangerous situation they may allow them to finish the hole. On Tour, sometimes they'll pull them off the course ahead of the danger due to having to get the galleries off the course.
I've heard it's Billy Mayfair that is being referred to here.

Most speculation I have seen is that it is Adam Scott

Interesting. I guess I'm used to horn sounding for thunderstorms so unless you've got a tap in putt, you mark and hustle off.

He doesn't wear baggy shirts, though.

If they blow the horn for a dangerous situation and you tap in after the horn blows, it's a DQ.

Wears tight clothes. I've read in two places this person is known to wear "baggy shirts". That can't be Scott. Though I'm not saying he isn't a cheater.

I thought if the horn blew one time it was the players option to finish the hole they have started. If there are two short horn blasts then they do not have the option, they must mark and leave course immediately.

Lol, my PGA buddy (LSU guy) just responded to my inquiry with 2 words:
"Billy Playfair"
"Billy Playfair"

could be Vijay Singh. A lot of tour guys hate him and he was an anchor guy. Has a reputation as a cheater too

It's the opposite, but the premise is correct. If you play a shot after a single long horn blast signifying a dangerous situation, it's a DQ.

I would've guessed it was threeputt, but it's hard to mismark your ball with a sandwich in your hand
