if he caused it to move and didn't replace it then it's a 2 stroke penalty

I'm sure if the putter had touched the ball he'd have known and made the ref aware of it at the time.

Now Dj's head is all over the place, errant shots since being iformed they want to look at footage. Can t see what the issue is.did not addrees ball> unless he touched it but surely he would have called a penalty on himself. Its hotting up

They have to prove that Dustin caused the ball to move after the rule change in January wouldn't they?
I think the issue might be that they're concerned they got the Lowry decision wrong in round 2 and need to even it up!

Once the ref has given the decision, it must stand.

Actually turning into a farce. DJs head is gone and even if he is facing a penalty if things keep spiralling it won't matter.

Only if the facts as presented and ruled on stand up.

Yep. This is very quickly looking like ruining the whole championship and unfair on everyone.

This is pretty disgusting, actually. Why let it go on? Surely they can review the footage and make a decision asap?
If DJ doesn't win this and there's no penalty, the USGA are going to take pelters, and rightly so.

Lowry set up to putt then called a penalty on himself because ball moved.
I think he called this penalty incorrectly on himself because he didn't cause it to move. It just moved.

And completely unfair on whoever else wins in that case because the whole thing is tainted

Tensions mount at Oakmont as the nonsense continues.

It's an utter shambles. DJ has been massively affected by this. Tell him now and he, and other members of the field, will know where they are.

Why can the USGA just get DJ in to view some footage discuss takes 2 mins then he knows where he stands

Whatever happens (and the way the USGA is handling it seems bizarre), this is compelling viewing.
