Could DJ be the mysterious Ryder Cup member that ripped into Reed claiming he's ''full of doo doo''???

There's obviously tension between the two.....makes the viewing that much more interesting.

DJ looking a little nervy to start this round. Solid start from Rory, should be interesting this!

McIlroy displayed his putting frailties again last night, and for me until he gets this sorted he's going to let events like this slide by. So far, he's been as good as DJ tee to green but he needs to learn to get it in the hole more often from 3-4 feet. Remember Woods in the prime. He seemed to barely miss from that length under pressure

Well you will know all about frailties.

More than most golfers. Can't deny the undenyable

Johnson being very clever with the rules but don’t like it. I think if he genuinely addressed the ball he wouldn’t touch the path

 

[Deleted member 15344]

well that’s a way to use the rules to your advantage

What a free drop for DJ at the 5th , RULES ARE RULES LOL.

 

[6535]

I must remember that next time I’m behind a tree.

Where’s his integrity?

 

[fundy]

joke drop and then the comms praise him for knowing the rules, oh the irony

 

[GG26]

Do you think your playing partners would think that you were taking the mick if you asked for a drop in that situation in a competition at your club? I think so. The rules officials rarely stand up to the top players.

Adds in the nice big spit onto the green as well - disgusting, that’s as bad as people slamming the putter down

Unfortunately the referee has no choice but to give him the drop

 

[Wilson]

He seems to get more rulings to his advantage than others, (maybe just because he’s on TV more!), but I don’t think Dougherty was that impressed, if he’d played that off his back foot I don’t think he’d been on the path.

It feels wrong to me that he gets away with that, but Fowler gets a penalty as he dropped the ball from the wrong height.

 

[fundy]

if sky had any balls theyd split screen him chipping out yesterday and the pretend stance he took there, instead they applaud him and comment on his integrity lol

The only time I saw a rules official really stand his ground was with Seve when he was trying to get a drop for animal scrapings. All the players try it on to get an advantage so I don't think any of them can take a moral high point. Not sure you'd get away with it in a club medal but why shouldn't you if it's within the rules, if not perhaps feeling it's "in the spirit".

 

[fundy]

Rorys turn now lol

 

[garyinderry]

Hahahaha Rory would never do such a thing

 

[Whydowedoit]

Can someone please explain as to how Dustin Johnson obtained a free drop when totally stymied against a tree..??

 

[Deleted member 15344]

The ref is trying to find a way not to give Rory the drop - did the ref give DJ the same grilling ?

As Seve said, the rules are there to help you
