Justin says, "I don't think so and I was closest to the ball. I know better than anyone whether I caused it to move. So here is my scorecard. I have put in my score without the penalty, and I signed it."
"You can DQ me for knowingly signing a wrong scorecard, which I am doing, based on the ruling you made. And all those folks on the green out there ready to give speeches and give out trophies....... you can tell them to move aside, because I think you now have get ready for a three person playoff. Don't you? Is it still 18 holes? On Monday? That will be fun. Furyk , what's his name and the other what's his name. "

Well, to continue this fantasy, we already know the USGA would DQ him in a heartbeat. The R&A wouldn't be far behind. The PGA of America assessed DJ the 2 strokes at Whistling Straits so they're not scared. Lastly, Augusta National does whatever they want at any time and might DQ him faster than the USGA if that's possible.
Long story short, don't **** with the ruling bodies at major championships. They take no prisoners.
