i've been watching the entire broadcast, but David Fay was confusing when he was talking about the incident. is there a scenario where the situation is interpreted differently where a DQ is the result?

The penalty for Breach of Rule 1-2 is a two strokes (or a loss of hole in match play). "In the case of a serious breach of Rule 1-2, the Committee may impose a penalty of disqualification”

Agree with everything.

That par save by Koepka was absurd. Bravo.

was DJ really 224 yard approach shot into par 4 after 300+ yard driver? or was it par 5?... anyway, if it's 4 par it just shows how hard pga tour is in general and then these conditions.

they need to water the greens every X groups or something. and come with dynamic schedule so that they aren't always watering greens ahead or behind a certain group.....

i foresee a rules problem where a player says a ball stopped but it hadn't really. i.e. when some of these balls change direction after very slow rolls...

i'm assuming your caddy can't mark your ball? seems like some of these players would want to mark their ball very quickly

it is only analogous but in high school, powerhouse DeLaSalle from the East Bay of San Fran have been accused of doing walking starts i.e. the offensive linemen never come to a full stop before the ball is snapped.

Lol amazing that this course is basically unplayable again, after what happened last time.

Dumb question probably, but can't they just set the course up basically like it usually is for the members? It's already a tough course. Whatever they are doing to the greens, it ain't working.

Also Finau and Berger shooting 66 among the carnage was pretty amazing. Probably equivalent to both guys shooting 60 on a normal course.

Finau and Berger played their rounds under benign conditions. great rounds? you betcha. like shooting 60 on a normal course PGA Tour setup? no.

Because the winning score would be 15-20 under.

I find it really hard to believe that this course is set up so difficult for regular members that a major winning score with the same setup would be just 20 under.

USGA cut out sod from several "wide" fairways at Shinnecock and replaced with tall fescue. The fairway sod has been placed in a New Jersey nursery so it can be put back after the US Open has completed. So that should be an indicator of the lengths USGA will go to protect ol' man par.

The only course ready to go at a moment's notice for the US Open is probably Oakmont. There may be some tougher courses of which USGA has no interest playing, due to logistical concerns, distance from major airports, etc.

Lol golf channel replaying/analyzing the Phil raked putt on a loop like it's the Zapruder film.

Seems overdone. Yeah it was wrong and yeah he should have been DQed... but we have a stacked leaderboard and a championship up for grabs, and all they are talking about is the guy at +17.

Virtually all the Golf Channel discussion so far seems to be about yesterday. We get it. Phil Philled. The course was hard. Some people think it was unfair.

Who cares? It's done. Let's talk about today's setup. Who's going to win, what's going to be different.

The course is great. It’s the US Open-it should be hard. If you can’t keep a ball on the green landing it on the green then land it short and run it up. Seems like I recall a big tournament played every year where that type of shot is pretty common.
