2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont Discussion Thread

They shouldn't review it after the round.  They should review it NOW and only say something if they decide it's a penalty.  It ridiculous to make him have that in the back of his mind the rest of the round.

This is stressful as all hell.

Day needs two birdies on the final four holes to get in with a chance. 17 is a birdie opportunity, but where will the second come from?

[Hazsa]

Would be a massive anti climax to sink the final putt then debate with rules officials whether you've won the U.S Open!!! Make a decision now please

Yup. Round over should mean game over. No reviewing foul "home run" balls after 9 innings. Ugh so dumb.

USGA is just a fukkin joke......hey steph curry, your foot may have been on the line for your last 3-pointer -- we'll take a look and tell you after the game

[RJH999]

This Dustin Johnson thing is bullshit.

We're not sure if it is a touchdown Big Ben, but we will wait until after the game to tell you.

... and he's short sided in the sand!

If they take this from Johnson that is ridiculous to me. The Bunker incident was on him not asking if that was a bunker or not.  Also he said he  did not read the rules about bunkers at Whistling straits and where they were located on the course.

THIS IS ****ING BULLSHIT. THIS IS THE REASON AVERAGE VIEWERS TEND TO STAY AVERAGE VIEWERS. TICKY TACK BULLSHIT. I AM GOING TO KEEP TYPING IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I AM ANGRY. IF DJ IS GOING TO LOSE, LET BE DUE TO SOMEONE PLAYING BETTER NOT FROM AIR WISPING THE BALL 1/8 OF A ****ING MILLIMETER. I HATE EVERYTHING.

[Chilli Dipper]

Give a rules official a damned iPad, and let DJ have a look at it on the next tee! There's no reason this should ruling needs to be hanging over the championship until after play is finished!

Discussion with Jeff Hall makes sense...

every second extra they take deciding this... exponentially grows their incompetence in my eyes

Dustin could have simply said "I must have caused it to move." Then added the stroke and moved on.

They can't take him to a video trailer in the middle of the round.

I believe he will be penalized.

[Shindig]

Nice sand shot by Dustin.

[atb5079]

For this reason I hope everyone else falters on the closing holes. Either that or I hope Westwood socks the officials in the face after the round. This is DJ's. Gonna make #17 REAL interesting.

They've made a decision.  They simply want to give DJ the courtesy of seeing the video that supports the decision.  I'd like to see DJ win, but I understand the decision based on that video.
