Congrats to Kaymer.

Same here. And thanks to Bubba Watson for providing a little crowd excitement with that bunker shot on 18!

[senorchipotle]

wow, what a let down. nothing against kaymer, i'm sure he's a great guy. but was really rooting bubba or rory to take the title. but definitely by far the best major of 2010.

[te3point5]

cant believe bubba came up so short on his second on the 18th playoff hole.

dustin johnson has a 1 stroke lead going into 18. he blocks his drive way out right into what was (apparently) a bunker. looked like a worn away section of dirt/sand. he grounds the club. doesnt realize its a penalty. bogeys the hole and is told there is a 2 shot penalty for groudning the club. misses playoff by 2 shots instead of tying for playoff. bubba watson loses to martin kaymer in playoff after putting his approach on 18 in the creek.

Bubba posts 11-under early. Elkington misses an eagle putt for the lead at 16, then drives through the green at 17 to end his chances. McIlroy has a birdie putt at 18 to tie, but misses. Kaymer gets up-and-down from the bank at 18 to tie Watson. DJ birdies 17 to take the lead, then drives way right at 18 into a trampled-down area. DJ hooks approach well left, but pitches to within six feet for the win. Putt never has a chance; three-way playoff.

But wait! DJ's drive wound up in what appeared to be a bunker, and grounded his club. The world waits for a ruling...and waits...and waits some more. Finally, judgement is handed down: two strokes for DJ. Three men drop to two before the first shot is fired, and Watson and Kaymer head to the tenth tee. Watson's drive reaches the foot of the green; Kaymer's, the lip of a fairway bunker. Kaymer manages par, but Watson birdies for a one-shot lead. At 17, Watson plays for the middle of the green, but Kaymer gets it to 15 feet. Good lag by Watson, but Kaymer makes the equalizer. All square with one to play. Both tee shots at 18 find the right rough; Watson's away, but Kaymer is absolutely buried. Bubba takes dead aim, but ball doesn't jump from the lie: his approach is well short and in the creek. Kaymer chips out, but still has a mid-iron left for his third. Kaymer is distracted by a spectator, but regroups brilliantly to leave a 20-footer for the win. Watson's pitch after the drop goes through the green into a bunker, seemingly ending his chances. He blasts it out...it's tracking hard at the hole...it jams the pin, but stays out! Kaymer's par putt rolls three feet past; worse, he now has to watch Watson putt out. Bubba holes for a double bogey, but Kaymer's bogey putt has no doubt, and Germany claims it's second major champion.

Must be an instant classic---check for any TV replays--if you didn't record it, maybe you could watch a replay on CBS.com

Overview Windy, clear skies Overton tees off first and finishes in just over 2 hours, setting a speed record. Watney starts off with a bogey and it's all downhill for him there. Moobs has a good round, all smiles at the end of his day (as usual). Then its MK, DJ, BW, RM, Elkington, and ZJ all competing for the lead. At the final hole, interesting events occur for DJ. Playoff

[Wildcat]

Kind of a letdown all the way after Rory missed his birdie putt. A 4-way playoff with Rory, Dustin, Bubba, and Martin could have been awesome. Instead, Rory misses by 1, we get the whole Dustin snafu, Bubba mishits his approach on the 75th, and Martin makes a 2-foot putt for bogey to win.

[Tiger Spuds]

Thankyou very much guys.What in the world happened to Nicky?

[senorchipotle]

DJ got screwed on that deal. just saw what happened, and the definition of ''bunker'' for WS doesn't really make much sense to me. by their definition, a divot is considered a bunker. gotta feel for the guy, this was a great opportunity for redemption.

The Rules of Golf define "bunker." Look it up. The PGA just made players aware that any such area were bunkers and not waste areas. Divots aren't included - not even close.

Watney lost his lead after one hole, and became an afterthought after triple-bogeying the seventh. He finished with an 81.

[chriskzoo]

I'm a rules stickler, but this doesn't sit right.

My only problem with the ruling was that yea, his ball was near a bunker, but the area in which his ball was at rest looked to be outside the margin of the bunker and an area where sand had been pushed out of the bunker - it was literally a 1x1 foot area of sand connected to the "bunker". Sorry, if I was Johnson I would have brought the Rules official out and had him define where the margin of the bunker was and show that his ball was indeed inside the margin of the bunker.

I'm hoping Golf Channel goes out to the scene of the crime.

[Cornbread]

And did anyone note that neither of the play-off players have traditional swings.

The rules official who was interviewed on CBS (the same one who made the ruling? Does anyone know?) said that "anything with sand is a bunker". That's not the Rules of Golf definition, obviously, but that's what he said. And apparently what the ruling what based on.

an 81?jeez it's like Johnson at the U.S. Open all over again.Feel for him, he's such a nice guy.Feel for Dustin Johnson too, twice now he's had a good chance at a Major.He's buildin' up some scar tissue already.
