Even worse than the choke, was this "was it or was it not a bunker?"

I don't know how they can consider it a bunker when he had members of the gallery standing and sitting in the area with him.

It might be better he missed that putt then have to think you won it then have it taken away...

Seriously, can someone explain to me why "grounding" your club is even a penalty? Michelle Wie got in trouble for this last year, and it's really the dumbest rule in all of golf. What advantage could D. Johnson possibly have gained for that yesterday?

its just the rules. cant ground your club in a hazard. a sand trap is considered a hazard.

I would guess the rule is like that to penalize you for hitting a poor shot.

I get that it's the rule, but it's a completely useless rule. There are rules to keep someone from cheating and then there are rules just to have rules.
