They are a couple hours behind due to multiple rain delays; the leaders are only thru the first 5 holes today and Kim still holds a 2 shot lead (-16)

Is anchoring allowed at the John Deere? Watching Hearn putt yesterday, he looked to me to be anchoring the putter. I thought that was not allowed.

Correct, its not allowed. Is there footage?

Doesn’t matter. It’s basically just a matter of a player simply saying ‘ I didn’t’ that settles any dispute. Video just doesn’t suffice. Even when it appears beyond any doubt...one can just say..’ no, I wasn’t anchoring.’ The funny thing is when USGA asks a player to demonstrate the stroke and then they say, ‘oh ok...all good.’ As if they’re gonna anchor right in front of them. Imagine if there wasn’t clear video evidence of Lexi’s marking and they asked her to show them how she marks...you think she would pick her ball up and move it an inch off? And I’m not saying these guys are purposefully anchoring. I simply think they have been careless thinking too much about the putt and not the rule. My photo in the anchoring topic clearly shows Benard Langer’s hand pressed against his shirt all through his stroke.

So... its against the rules to switch golf ball STYLE during a round but yet you’re allowed to put a new ball into play... every single hole if you wish?  Dumb.

EDIT:  Ah, after googling I see its only a sub rule adopted for professional tournaments mostly.

side note... good on Danny Lee!  Mad at his putting so instead of breaking the putter he gave it to a kid after completing his second round and then his caddie tossed him the cover and said “you’re gonna need this too bud”.  Well done Danny.

If I may make a personal request. Please refrain from using that word. I work for and with people with Development Disabilities, so I really dislike when people use it.

It’s not a bad rule.

I wish I had the video. I’m pretty sure it’s from the last Charles Schwab. It’s clear to me that the right wrinkle is being pressed towards the left wrinkle. If he were to remove his arm off his chest the wrinkles would straighten out.

And sorry for being OT. I’m done.

Doesn't mean he's anchoring.

Lol. Of course not. Doesn’t matter. Silly rule that can’t be enforced. Luckily no one cares about it since only a few dabble with it. His forearm is clearly ‘anchored’ to his body through the entire stroke. And even though players have admitted to back stopping and others have admitted to witnessing shady ball marking, and Phil deliberately broke a rule in a Major then lied about it, there’s noooo way any player would ever, ever think of doing something so dubious as anchoring a putting stroke. 

Anchoring, as we all know (and as the USGA knows, with the exception of one word) is when the club, or the gripping hand, or a part of the forearm is held against the body. 

Forearm held against body...but not anchoring? I don’t agree Erik.
