US Open

<p>after speed wobbles, Lowry back tied for lead at -4 with DJ.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still think it is DJs to lose.</p> -
<p>Jim Furyk's -1 in the clubhouse is climbing the leaderboard as the cracks start to appear. :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Johnson -4</p>
<p>Lowry -3</p>
<p>Piercy -2</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You'd think it would come from these three - most likely DJ as he has only 3 to play. If he can do them in par I reckon he wins it.</p> -

<p>Hits a superb 2nd to about two feet from the hole. Nails a nasty downhill that rolls left and gathers pace to move to five under and Lowry has cracked.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regulation blonde golf wife in a mini dress almost squeezes out a tear as she wonders how to spend the cheque. :)</p>

<p>Edit: I'm reminded that she's Wayne Gretzky's daughter.</p> -
<p>DJ is/was the bad boy on tour wasn't he?</p>
-
-
<p>and shagging someone else on tours Missus wasn't it?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good on him though, I like the way he plays the game!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Man there are some good golfers on tour at present!</p> -
<p>conspiracy time? They didn't want him to win?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is pretty shit, especially for Lowry who did get back to even with him, or 1 ahead if they imposed the penalty.</p> -
<p>some of the slopes of the greens on this course are fucking stupid. Some "good" shots end up rolling 5m off the green. What's the fucking point? Who plays there normally? And why would you? </p>
-
<p>Really happy for DJ. Especially the way he played 18 - what a way to get the monkey off your back.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It ended up being a compelling final round, with Lowry's slide helping things. Charges from Garcia and Day, but DJ played really solid golf all day and was a deserving winner.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I really enjoyed Fox's coverage. Why they don't use the 'pro tracer' on every shot is beyond me, makes it such a better viewing experience when you know where the ball is going.</p> -

<p>Didnt see much of this as away on Thailand for work but did DJ get penalised in the end or not?</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Yeah he did.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pretty ridiculous why they had to wait until the end of the round to do it. Look at the fucking footage, and if it's a penalty, give it to him as soon as possible. Lucky the bloke won by four (at the time), as it could have been really brutal if it was a tight finish.</p> -
<p>yea with the technology they have, bit of a joke really, a farcical situation where he couldnt have made it move, yet they let that hang over him.</p>

<p>What I don't understand is that he took his practice strokes and the ball did not move. He then placed his putter behind the ball without grounding it and the ball moved which is not a penalty. So they are saying that his practice swings caused the ball to move but it didn't. Didn't they bring the rule in that if the ball moves and your club is not grounded there is not penalty? Really is a stupid rule when greens are so fast and/or the wind is blowing. Great composure DJ.</p>
- but, Johnson has been staunch. Still -4 and a solid tee shot made on 18.</p>
