they're not calling him a liar ... he doesn't think his soling of the club next to the ball caused it to move, and they do (since there could be no other explanation in their mind) ... and they all but admitted they were going to penalize him in their on-air conversation with buck & co when he was out on the course ... they were going to penalize him regardless of the outcome, even if it meant he doesn't get into a playoff ... they have to make everyone acknowledge how important their precious integrity of the game is, and this is how they do it ... frick em ...

Although great strides have been made by updating the rules about penalties and eliminating the DQ's for signing incorrect score cards for post infraction penalties. The USGA "shite the bed" with this "we will let you know after the round" ruling.

It was not fair to DJ or any of the players in contention. Thankfully things worked out to avoid any controversy but the USGA received a huge black-eye from the way it was handled.
