He saw your post and decided not to win this week.

Well my posts do carry quite a bit of weight, didn't you know?

Looks like he's not as far off the lead as he could have been when he was +3 on his round.

TV guide says 2.5 hours of LIVE coverage for this is going to start in an hour. All players will be done in 1 hour, according to the live leaderboard. Am I missing something here?

I don't think Rory wants to win this one, the way he's hitting balls in the water.

I just got back from my 5am round and it's 11:41AM PST.  Coverage starts in 20 minutes and the leaders are all through 17.  Ridiculous.

Having said that, go DJ!!!

I think I'm the only person who picked DJ to win the US open earlier this week in the contest thread. I had a feeling!

They may have bumped up the rounds if there's bad weather in the forecast. The TV guide isn't going to update itself to say tape-delayed.

Well Congrats to DJ for pulling off a win with such a huge gap of off time this season. Also good for him to finish a 72 hole tourney win instead of a shortened tounament. Can't knock that.

Does Dustin winning make it more or less likely that he was "injured" or serving a suspension for recreational drugs?

How would it be more likely? This question doesn't make sense. And he looks and sounds like a burner. But whom am I to judge?

[bplewis24]

Well, it wouldn't make it more likely that he was injured, so I suppose it would be the latter.  Although I still would need some evidence supporting it other than the rumors.

Here's a better question. Who withdraws from Augusta without a real injury? I'd love to see something more than speculation on the drug issue.

I would like to know where the rumors came from. Just because he walks with a wide gait and doesn't show a ton of emotion doesn't mean he smokes weed.

Twitter bots are crude.

Agreed. Pretty lame rumor IMO.

Sky in the UK flagged up the live coverage being earlier at the end of their coverage on Saturday night, so it wasn't a last minute thing.

Spoilers! I didn't realize it was on tape delay & came to this thread only to see that you were talking about the DJ win!
