It'd be hilarious and poetic if Dustin Johnson won due to him having not grounded his club.
Well yeah, but lets see how he does in Majors.

I was watching Lowry on the range and dude just didn't look comfortable at all. He kept cursing at himself after hitting a shot, then he'd walk away for 20 seconds and come back to set up.
I don't know what his normal routine is, but most guys show up 60 minutes before their tee time. Lowry showed up 45. I know it doesn't sound like much, but if you normally show up at a certain time and you're late, I'm sure it can fuck with some things.
I'm sure it's messing with some of these guys having to come in early to play 4 or 5 holes and then coming back again late afternoon. I dunno.. just some observations.

I can't believe they wasted that opportunity with a "How did you win 18 majors?" question. What a bland waste of time during such an opportunity.

Here comes Jason Day

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Joe Buck ask a bland question? No!

I can't imagine what's going through Dustin Johnson's mind if he winds up getting a penalty stroke assessed here after having a rules official give him the okay earlier.
My thoughts too. Bizarre.
Can you elaborate ? Why is he an asshole ?

What
They aren't going to review the stroke now and tell him during the round? He has to play the rest of the round with a phantom penalty?
Either give him the fucking stroke or don't

Even if the breeze from DJ's club caused the ball to move, it's still DJ's fault according to the rules. He should get a penalty
It's only a conspiracy if it causes him to go into a playoff and he loses. He can negate the penalty by continuing to play like a fucking champ, so let's work on that.
Faked three drugs tests in five and had an affair with the wife of a fellow pro golfer.
It's still shitty. You may reach on a hole, not lay up, if you know you need another stroke.

this is so fucking dumb.
you have his statement at the time, make the decision now and go on with the play.

They should have made the decision then and there.
I imagine they probably are going to give him the penalty, but this is playing out in such a weird way.

Instant replays and video reviews have ruined sports
You can't keep on taking these fucking sports with rules from decades before the invention of instant replay and video reviews and go with it. Human perception and real time is how we play sports.
Reviewing a catching motion has made football worse
Reviews in baseball fucking suck
Offsides in hockey being reviewed is not the spirit of the rule
Now I'm watching the US open possibly ending in this clusterfuck because we have a stupid slow motion hi-def replay of a one second motion.

Lowry got lucky there to stay out of the bunker. This is going to end up tied, but there will be no playoff because DJ will get penalized in the end. I'm predicting that finish

This sort of thing has been going on in golf for decades.
It used to be that fans would call in penalties to the rules officials, who would then assess them after the fact and then assign additional penalties to the player for signing incorrect score cards due to penalties that were assessed after the round was already over.

Nope. As TV tech improves you HAVE to review these things. Before the fans in the stands, the officials and the fans watching TV wouldn't see that. Now people see it on TV and they can't just wave it by because nobody else saw it.
What's funny is that the announcers were praising the rule change earlier. If it were still the old rule, he would just have had the penalty stroke when it happened. Why you would want to add ambiguity to the rule book I don't know.
But they cant give the penalty until they show him the video to get his opinon on it? And I don't know who ultimately decides of its a stroke or not? Like if johnson says I didnt make it move can the official just say "too bad, penalty"? if so, why do they care about him seeing the replay?

yep I'm fine with that. Players need to adjust and not practice their stroke millimeters from the ball just to be safe

Don't make me cry
Wasn't a catch then, isn't a catch now. And your argument is bunk. They were both reviewed plays because of improved tech, just as I said.

Got to say I can't stand the coverage on FOX, pretty horrible.
That's not true. They televise all the USGA tournaments. US Senior Open, US Amateur, US Women's Open, US Junior Amateur.
I know, but the other three don't matter.

It wouldn't be nearly as bad if not for Joe Buck, but it's still far from ideal.
And they have the rights for like a decade, too.
Compared to CBS/NBC coverage, this is really amateur hour.
