I heard all the rules and explanations and I still say bull crap. He did what he did and gained an advantage, no telling how much further it would have rolled plus after he smacked the ball, it almost dropped in the cup...and then what would have happened??? As pissed as he was, it may have taken 3-4 more putts to get out of that mess. What little respect I did have for him was as a player but not anymore. Keep smiling slippery phil, enjoy your millions, how you have any fans left will amaze the crap out of me.


I agree..and if that ball went in the hole, no way is a 2 stroke penalty enough... total BS.

Would love to hear GPK's take, but he's never around unless some harness legend dies.

I honestly think the penalty would have been harsher had the ball went in on the bonehead mistake stroke AND if it wasn’t his birthday.

Let’s be honest, that type of crap doesn’t even fly on most pitch & putt courses, let alone the grand stage!
