That is complete and utter bullshite. It would have been better just to tell him right there that he was getting a penalty.

It is bullshite. And they acted like they were doing him a favor telling him that. However, if you're in his situation, you have to mentally assess yourself that penalty stroke and try to move on and play accordingly from that point on. That's easier said than done, especially in the US Open. I've been a long-time USGA supporter and I'm a big believer in the "integrity of the game" but the USGA are looking like fools here.

The younger guy who was on TGC last night getting grilled by Brandel knew they fricked up but someone above him threw him to the wolves and made them spew the "USGA viewpoint". You could tell he was very uncomfortable.

I was also astonished that they pulled two officials off the course and back to the clubhouse to review this video. Holes 4/5/6 are a very long way from the clubhouse too. What prompted them to even review it in the first place??
