Wide open field otherwise.
Also related to golf majors on the women's side. LPGA really screwed up the Lexi Thompson situation the other day.

I think the real issue is, you've got people "calling in" but almost always the people who send in emails and call in are golf officials or folks who "know somebody." It was what happened when Tiger Woods had that infraction in the Masters a few years ago.
It's not regular Joe fans who are doing this, and that's what the bullshit is, since not every player end up on TV getting extra scrutiny. |
no word yet on Johnson. I too hope its not a coverup for bigger problems like when he finally admitted he had a drinking problem.
Going to be very windy at Augusta today, with gusts there (and here) up to 40 mph this afternoon. I'm sure that won't do his back any favors. Going to be a very difficult course to play.
I think they are just going to have to ban "call-ins". Technology has improved so much that people who aren't even there at the course have power over what happens now, and that just doesn't seem right. Let there be "Monday night quarterbacking" on all the talk shows about it, but if you are going to assess a penalty for something like this, it should by rule, been given before the next round begins not like what happened to Thompson and Johnson.
