DJ brought the rules official in at the time it happened. After discussing it the official ruled no penalty. That should have been the end of it. To tell him on the 12th tee you may or may not get a penalty had to frick his head up; he did hit some poor shots the next few holes before regrouping. If the penalty isn't assessed at the time, it should be over and done. USGA shite the bed big time and lost a lot of credibility. I doubt they call the penalty if he ended up leading by 1 shot.

Could you imagine this in another sport? Like you have a goalline stand in the 2nd quarter but the officials say they aren't going to let anyone know until after the 4th quarter is over if the ball crossed the plane or not.

Can you imagine if they refereed a football game that way?

"Hey Nick, you know that touchdown that Alabama scored in the 1st quarter? That was reviewed by the officials and not overturned? Well, we may or may not let it count. Haven't decided yet. We'll let you know after the game. Oh, and we'll tell the other team after a couple more possessions. Thanks".

This is how it happens in Match Play... I don't understand why it has to be so different in Stroke Play bringing in a committee to decide after the fact if there was an infraction.

It should be decided ON THAT HOLE before teeing off on the next hole... just like Match Play.

That official was chairmen of the rules committee as well.

Like the main fricking dude in charge.
