That was so strange. It was rolling and he was watching as it sped past the hole. Then he just ran up to it and swung at it.

Announcers acting like he killed someone.

My kids used to do that a lot when they got pissed during mini-golf.

I'm surprised that that's not DQ level offense. But I'm not a golfer.

"john daly's reputation took a big hit after he did it."

i think there might have been a few other things that caused long john's rep to take a hit more so than hitting a moving ball.

dj doubles the second. piercy does too.

Knowing Phil, he's probably envisioned that scenario and even practiced it...the two-stroke penalty was worth it to get out of there. Assuming the ball was about to make a 40-yard roll off the green, not sure

pretty much exactly what he said.

Tv guys don't really believe him and won't stop talking about it. Holy smokes.

Two guys under par for the day doesn't make it very fun to watch.

it's golf. It's not supposed to be fun.

I jinxed DJ like I did Sloane stephens.

Disagree

The conditions don't look bad, a bunch of guys seem to forgot how to putt.

You probably don't like football in the snow either.

The greens are dry and incredibly fast. In 2004 they had to water one of the greens between every pair on the final day because it was so dry. Just seems like the USGA didn't learn a whole lot from that.

It's not Phil's fault they applied the wrong rule.

Koepka just landed it pretty softly eight feet from the hole. Rolls a bit. Keeps rolling right into a bunker 25 feet from the hole.

yeah it's dumb as hell.
