--PYB could go on for days about the finish at yesterday's PGA Championship. But the bottom line is if it's supposedly a bunker the PGA needs to control the crowd and keep them out of the hazard itself. And instead of bragging about the number of bunkers at Whistling Straits, which increased in its exaggerated total over the weekend from more than 900 to more than 1200 as television personnel bragged on about them, they should spend more time maintaining them. If they can't control the mob of fans or the bunkers, hold the fucking tournament elsewhere.
It's all well and good to say Dustin Johnson should have known the rules, but he should have been given the space and calm to assess the situation and its context. Being surrounded on all sides within three feet, with the gallery flowing into the "bunker" where he hit from, does not count as such. What a fucking joke. An even bigger joke is the lack of responsibility the PGA has taken for its 'lack of institutional control.' The organization continues to hide behind its veil of 'the rules are the rules' as faux rules stalwarts start to blame it all on Johnson.
--The short answer here is absolutely yes, better than the 2003 bunch with the overhyped Bullocks brothers (couldn't tackle, questionable ball hawking skills). But an absolute HELL NO to the 1995, 1997 and 1999 groups. There are five players in those units that played 10+ years in the NFL. This group had a nice half season in 2009, but hasn't accomplished a thing yet.
This is why some people hate golf! Dustin Johnson got screwed!!!! This poor guy cannot catch a break. Way to go judge smails lets F_CK this guy out of a million dollars.
