As one of those "fat old guys" who worked as a marshall at the 2014 US Open at Pinehurst, I resent this characterization, even if it IS accurate.  I know that the USGA prefers a few traditional things

I'm sure I'll get some heat for this, but I'm starting to believe Rory has lost his passion for playing competitive golf. It seems in  his interviews he's just appeasing the sponsors and fans but if h

Yeah, but if he goes back to the tee he's hitting his 4th shot from 200 yards away. Now he's hitting his 4th shot from 50 yards away. 

Yeah. I didn't realize he'd be able to get anywhere near that close.

I don't care if it's the last round of a major, he needs to be put on the clock after this.

I'm with you.

What a disaster.  I'm thinking this just ended Jordans chances.  Ugh.  I'm not happy about this

Spieth needs to settle down now. There are still par-5's ahead, and it's not like Kuchar is playing particularly well, so he is still right in it.

That was a clutch putt...

Only dropped one shot. Still wondering why they're not on the clock now.

What are the rules regarding pace of play when you need to get rules like that.  Surely the time to get rulings have to be taken into consideration

Nice bogey putt Jordan.  I've made some great bogeys in my day too.  And some of them took 25 minutes too, but in my case, that's just how muni courses run on Sundays. ;-)

I think the rule is based on time you have from when you can hit the shot to when you must have hit the shot.  So the time to get a ruling isn't part of it.

Rory in at -5 and can't win this year's British.  Sorry Rory, but at least this didn't cost you this year's chance at the career slam :-)

Yes, they take time for a ruling into consideration...but he wasted a ton of time deciding what to do.

"Gosh darn it" -- some colorful language from Kuch.  I usually follow "Gosh darn" with something else, but I'm not on T.V.. 

And Jordan nearly had to buy him a drink.

Wasn't that complicated a situation in terms of the rules. 17 mins to take the shot is taking the piss.

16 green vs. 14 tee. Ugh.

Spieth not in the lead anymore so he may actually win. This could be like the 2015 US Open and Travelers all over again. As soon as he's not in the lead, it's like a switch and he turns it on. When he's in the lead, it's duck and cover.
