Mike Honcho 4,031 Posted June 16, 2018 Wow. Thats crazy. Wasnt thinking. He claims he was thinking, knew the rule and knew it would be at least two strokes if it rolled down the hill.... probably BS excuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimmySmith 2,782 Posted June 16, 2018 He claims he was thinking, knew the rule and knew it would be at least two strokes if it rolled down the hill.... probably BS excuse.Exactly.

jerryskids 5,204 Posted June 16, 2018 CEO of USGA just basically said of Phil "we found a rule that applies and it is 2 strokes and blah blah blah." I'm sorry but that was egregious. I like Phil, he played at ASU and all, but he should be DQ'd. It's not like the ball moved slightly as he addressed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the s is ilent 69 Posted June 17, 2018 David Fay just said he would have had him DQ On the next hole he tried a circus putt trying to back door one using the slope of the green when a more standard approach would have given him a better chance to make the putt. All the while with a chit eatin grin on his face. I think that's when Zinger said "conduct unbecoming" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted June 17, 2018 I dont really hate the guy or anything. But too mechanical. Wears shades always. A euro. I dont know just too much i dont care for. really really nice guy and very approachable. I even told him i was cheering for Phil at that British and he still joked around and took a picture. This was 2016 PGA so it was right after his win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted June 17, 2018 copied from the other thread you know, he realized as soon as he did it that it was a dumb move and bad look. watching it happen and then seeing them show a replay of him laughing with Beef about it made me not really care. They kept comparing it to Daly and how Daly's image took a hit . sorry, Phil's image isn't going to take a hit for that. It was either Zinger or Strange who said we all have moments of frustration and it was a rare one that Phil let everyone see. and to think, I said yesterday either in this thread or Fumble's US Open thread that if Phil could go out and shoot 3 under early, he would be in contention. He was 1 under through 4 or 5 holes today. Obviously he imploded and I did not expect a +7 from DJ but turns out that 3 under number would have had him in the final pairing I think... or 2nd to last since i guess he finished after berger and finau. basically it would have bothered me more if he had a pissed off look on his face after doing it like blaming the conditions for his bad putting or something. i'm also not above saying he should probably be DQ'd. I actually thought he might just DQ himself after thinking about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually thought he might just DQ himself after thinking about it. I love Phil. And I say this without knowing how the rules are actually worded, but.... Phil essentially claiming that he knew the rule, did the math, and decided to hit the ball because it gave him a strategic advantage over letting it roll out....to me thats much worse than him just losing his cool for a second. Now I dont believe him at all. I think he just lost his cool and I dont for a second believe he calculated that it was to his advantage to hit the ball. But if Im taking him at his word, I think he should be disqualified. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

listen2me 23 1,542 Posted June 17, 2018 Crowd is very annoying and they just cheer anything. Cheering DJ saying great shot after he sends it in the deep stuff. A bunch of "look at me" out there. But I did laugh when randomly I heard "fire joe buck" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drizzay 645 Posted June 17, 2018 This whole tournament is just pathetic. From a horrible Saturday setup, to having to listen to Joe Buck 4 days straight, to the hot mics they have everywhere, I am very disappointed. If they are going to have the mics that close to the players and fans, kick out anyone who yells something after a hit, and quit muting the swearing by the players.

WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted June 17, 2018 for the life of me i could not understand why they had the leaders teeing off after 3PM yesterday. Naturally, the last group is going off about an hour earlier today. seems to me the whole field should have just gone out earlier. the leaders still would have had tougher conditions, but thats not a rarity. At least it could have been slightly easier for them at the start Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,083 Posted June 18, 2018 Two best things about Fox coverage. 1. All damn day golf. Between FS1 and Fox its was a ton of coverage. 2. The shot tracer. Nothing cooler than seeing a big draw into a green on the shot tracer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
