Bring back Seve, It’s a new era for professional golf, a shit one.
Bubba is far too chipper for a guy who’s just lost a major. “All that matters is I make the Ryder Cup team”. FFS
Butch likes a drink. Or ten.
Johnson has no excuses, if Ewan Murray knew it was a bunker the player should have known the score. The TV graphic showed the ball in a ‘‘bunker’’ so his own hole chart should have.
Hats off to Kaymer, catenaccio golf sees him through.
Hardly surprising about the lack of applause for a European player winning the last major after a yank is disqualified in a Ryder Cup year. Watson got a bigger cheer for putting out.
Martin Kaymer’s main goal this year has always been to play in the Ryder Cup. He’s done it.
I believe the exact rule Dustin was ruled out on was for breaking rule 16.8/a which stipulates that a golfers moobs must be at least a b-cup.
Bubba is going to take over the world. And I’d just like to give a big FOAD to Andrew Castle. Muthafucka.
I’d agree with Souldressing here. The players were apparently warned before the tournament that any sand on the course was to be considered a bunker.
It happened to McIlroy in Dubai I think and he owned up to it at the time.
Well, there’s nothing other than sand in Dubai, Fran. How dare that Johnson fook touch the ground with his golf club? The sheer audacity and cheek of him. He should be made play with plastic clubs in his next tournament.
It’s Dusty in Dubai alright.
The crowd were up for Bubba big time - hence the low key reaction for zee German.
The majority of fans that attend golf events in the US seem like tools of the highest order. They start yelping and shouting like eegits after somebody hits any long distance shot - the final destination of the ball has no relevance most of the time. Dustin Johnson’s shot from the so-called bunker is a classic example of this. John Daly talks alot about it in his book and how in Ireland and the UK people are much more clued into the game and will only applaud for a good shot.
Daly is a drunken degenerate bastard. If that’s the type of person you want to listen to go ahead.
Lets go Happy.
Bubba doesn’t play golf, he destroys it.
Those sort of ‘local’ rules need to be addressed big time. Majors should be played at courses that don’t allow the public to be standing and sitting inside a hazard that you may have to play out of at some stage. As he was hitting his shot there were still people standing in the ‘bunker’ beside him and sitting on the grass with their feet in the 'bunker.
The only good thing out of this is that finally that absolute rubbish course with 1000+ “bunkers” was shown up for the rubbish track that it was. The builders tried to use lake michigan at the side and a billion bunkers to deceive the public into thinking the course was any good. The fact that a potential winner was denied his chance becuase he was in a hazard as defined by the local rules, but the PGA allowed people to sit and stand in the ‘hazard’ is a shamples and the PGA should get it in the neck for that.
Yours in small balls,

Natives of Dubai often refers to themselves as Dubs. The All-Arabian sandcastle building championship is the big sporting event over there and Dubai haven’t won it since 1995. But there is huge hype over there at the moment as the Dubs look like they could take back the Saddam Hussein Cup this year.

I have absolutely no issue with that; it’s the fact he plays golf that makes him an arsehole.
Hm. Not interested. Halol.
I will today be partaking in my first ever round of golf.
