Thoughts on JJ Spauns Players "DROP"

And now he is in a 3 -hole play-off tomorrow...

It is "within" the rules but man I don't like it

 

[redseat]

In a sport where players "call" themselves out all the time... You'd think he wouldn't do something as "blatant" as that... I mean we all knew what he was doing...

Again, it is "within the rules" and I don't blame him for stretching them... A la fans moving that boulder for Tiger... Just isn't a great look

Ehh doesn't bother me any. Love a good loophole.

Absolutely no issue with it and tbh I don't know why anyone should. It's not like Tiger getting the fans to move a boulder out of the way... now that was really stretching them. The RoG screw us far more often than they help, so when you can use them to your advantage, it would be stupid not to.

His performance in the 3 hole playoff this morning may have been the worst pro golf playoff showing I've ever witnessed. What a choke job... and I was rooting for him. Over the 3 playoff holes Spaun did not hit a single good golf shot. Every single shot was bad including the putts with the exception of the tap-ins.

But $2.7 million isn't a bad consolation prize. But when he left what would have been the winning putt right in the mouth on 18 yesterday I had a feeling that was it for him.

i mean the official USGA Instagram account just did a rules explainer on basically this same situation a couple of weeks ago.

I wouldn't call it a choke job. He was on point coming home yesterday (from holes 14-18). That would have been the time to "choke" and he didn't. I just think he was off this morning. I mean...it was a weird set of circumstances.

He played well down the stretch Sunday. But over those 3 playoff holes this morning he hit 11 shots, including approach putts on 16 & 17, and every single one was sub-par. Can you think of 1 that wasn't? I was really rooting for the guy especially after the way he played on Sunday to catch Rory.

To be fair, Rory hit - what - two good shots over that three hole stretch? The drive on 16 and hitting the middle of the green on 17.

Not sure who the golfer was, but he was taking a drop in the pine straw and was moving the straw before dropping his ball, I didn't think that was legal.
