Me too, on both accounts. That was ugly. But the rules guy was firm in that it was a 2 shot penalty and they move forward (was with Buck and Zing along with Davis post-round). I think that is a bad precedent, but whatever.
Rules guy was adamant only a 2 stroke penalty, but my understanding is they could have DQed him.
Ian O'Connor on ESPN saying Phil should WD. I love FIGJAM, but I tend to agree. "I lost my ess guys...sorry. I'm going to go home, lick my wounds, and come back at _________ tourney."
Yeah, Cara Banks was quoting someone at USGA saying they would soften things up for tomorrow.
Has to be. Chambers Bay, Fox, blowing Shinnecock like this in the first visit back after blowing it last time, this ridiculous Phil ruling. Probably time for Davis to give somebody else a shot.
Couldn't agree more. Should have never happened back in 2000 or whenever it was. USGA is tasked with protecting the oh so precious "integrity" of the game. My ###.
This is really it here. There was one guy under par after Friday. The course setup was working, but they wanted that magical, meaningless “protect par” BS and ####ed it all up. Davis needs to own this and step down.
It's so funny to me. Being abused by this lost golf course, he chased down his errant putt and whacked it back towards the hole? WAT?! It's awesome. I laughed hard at the interview people are upset about too.
It's definitely funny, but the ruling is wrong. And in a very high profile way.It's so funny to me. Being abused by this lost golf course, he chased down his errant putt and whacked it back towards the hole? WAT?! It's awesome. I laughed hard at the interview people are upset about too.
He's clearly full of it. He's trying not to laugh I guess because folks can be so uptight. He did say when it happened that he wanted to be disqualified if that's the right rule, but the rules guys said since he took a legitimate stroke (at the hole!) and didn't just stop the ball or whack it away that it's a 2 stroke penalty. I think he preferred disqualification.
Beef Johnston, the Brit he was partnered with, apologized as he laughed. Phil said to him he didn't know how they'd rule it. And then they proceeded to finish the round telling each other funny golf stories to keep their minds of the miserable conditions. It's all good if you lighten up and consider Phil Mickelson chased a putt and struck it before it stopped.
If I wake up and he's disqualified tomorrow, that will still make me laugh.
I feel like I'm the only one laughing. And every time I think about it I laugh more. Golf, the stodgiest of games. Way to go Phil!
Oh I love it. Primarily I love how much it upsets people. YOU HAVE TO RESPECT THE GAME. I hope he does it again tomorrow.
I hope several of those duffers do it. I mean who "wants to go back and forth across those greens?"
Yes. It also embarrassed the usga and their dumb ### course setup.I hope several of those duffers do it. I mean who "wants to go back and forth across those greens?"
he shot an 81. Disqualification would be merciful.
I think most of us found it entertaining and didn't think at the time that he was disrespecting anything. The interview was bad though, he didn't come off good there.It's so funny to me.

NO DQ!!! I need Phil to beat Ricky tomorrow in their head to head pairing for fantasy purposes.I hope several of those duffers do it. I mean who "wants to go back and forth across those greens?"

Yeah I have dfs lineup with him that could be a sweat. Rose Koepka Berger Webb Barnrat Phil. That's in the top 500 of 100k entries.NO DQ!!! I need Phil to beat Ricky tomorrow in their head to head pairing for fantasy purposes.
That's not really last place. I mean you have to make the cut, get thru sectional or an invite, maybe regionals, and have a scratch handicap. So if last place is beating what? 10000 or so qualifier entrants. Yeah. Ok.
