2022 Professional golf thread

Great final round and good of Cam Smith to keep it interesting all the way to the end. Felt for Casey and the ball in that old pitch mark

Think two players telling Spieth they thought it wasn't where he thought it was should have been enough

Presumably you meant Berger? Sky coverage suggested it was only Hovland challenging but Dahmen stood with him. Good for them if that is how they read it. Has TV done a mock up to see who was correct?

Great last day. Brilliant golf, and bottle from all of the top 3. Fabulous advert for the game, I love this tournament.

Forum thoughts?
Don't think i've ever seen players disputing a ruling between each other so much. They clearly thought he was taking the piss...

Strange one this! I think they all honestly thought they were right but it's hard to justify being so adamant about your opinion when two other people are telling you you're wrong! Personally, the fact that they both said it was further back would have made me accept their view on it.

The strangest part for me though was the rules official.
This is professional sport at one of the biggest events on the calendar.
Every inch of the course is recorded on TV.
There is a rules official following each group.
And his final word on the matter was "I'll let you sort it out yourselves."

Why? If they can't agree, why isn't there the option for the rules official to get advice from the TV cameras and make a judgement?

What if they simply refuse to agree or compromise?

The angle we saw on the coverage had shot tracer and should have been adequate to help them out I think. I just couldn't tell who was right in the video because we didn't really get a gauge of where they were each standing.
