The rules guy kept saying there was instantaneous movement after DJs practice swing which was total BS. There was at least a 1or 2 sec delay after his last practice swing.

They just wanted to impose their authority. Kudos to DJ for handling it so well. I could see a # of players falling apart bc of the uncertainty.

To me, its not as much about the actual ruling as it is the way the ruling was handled. If they would have given DJ a stroke while it was ruled on the spot, we really would not have talked much about it.

But the way they handled it was just unreal. They got themselves in a mess that no ending was going to be good. If they eventually gave him a stroke, we got what happened. If they came back later and didnt give him a stroke, that opens up a new can of worms on the way they handled it.

A no win situation for the USGA created by the way they handled it.

Im glad DJ took control and pulled it out. If he would have come in up a stroke and then got penalized after the round, shite would have been terrible for everyone.
