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

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.

Agreed. Plus it didn't just affect him but affected everyone in contention. Like I said earlier, the smug rules guy was on the Golf Channel later that night saying how they decided to do it for the integrity of the game. The pros on the set wanted to punch this twerp in the face!

I see your point, but a better example would be in a basketball game if there is a controversy over whether a basket should count as a 2 pointer or a 3 pointer when the shooter's foot was near the line. The refs immediately go to the monitor and figure it out. Can you imagine if they waited til the game was over??
