    Stood there for 5 minutes and then laid up whilst Alex Noren was waiting to play. Appalling, should be penalised. Apparently it was a 6 hour round.

    Guys you play with would take similar times over shots...though mainly cause they have to wait for you to run ahead and pick up whatever club you just helicoptered.

    Hope J-Day gets it done in the morning. That play-off was tense - both guys had good chances to win it.

    Kind of pulling for Noren myself but only because of the typical American ‘journalists’ who have their heads in their a$$es. Day would be good too.

    Either way JB Holmes didn’t win, public stoning for him instead.

    Good call on the stoning! You probably wouldn't fit his head in the stocks though 😁

    Well done Jason.

    JB is painfully slow usually anyways, but that was a dog move what he did.

    Because I couldn’t bring myself to wake up at 3am I was trying to work out what Noren did. PGA app has the answer.

    Noren was unlucky on 2 counts. Firstly, he carried the water and hazard line, but his ball rolled back in. This meant he had a less than ideal angle into the flag, and very little fairway to get enough distance to apply spin control to the shot. Having said that Day's hit his approach dead, so Noren would have had to sink his wedge shot just to stay in it.

    I didn't see the incident, but ...

    When a ball rolls back into a hazard, often any point within 2 club lengths of where te ball last crossed the hazard line will be nearer the hole or still in the hazard.

    I assume he dropped on a point along the line away from the flag and the above diagram is not accurate. (Or even the equidistant point on the other side of the hazard, if it was marked as a lateral hazard.)

    Alternatively, there may have been a drop zone.
    You don't get me. I'm part of the Union.

    It was a Water Hazard (Yellow), not a Lateral Hazard (Red). Relief is from behind the hazard with point of entry in line with the flag, go back as far as you like (Rule 27-1 b), or go back to original spot and hit again ((27- 1 a). stroke and distance).

    He only had two options. Go back and play the ball again or drop anywhere along the line of point of entry and the flag.

    JB Holmes got slammed by a bunch of players for taking over 4 minutes to hit his 2nd shot into the 72nd hole, the rule is 40 seconds.

    Alex Noren was playing partner who had to wait for him to hit.

    No action by the Tour.

    Without mentioning that the pussy took that long to hit a lay up.

    PT, the Tour has shown themselves to be weak as piss for years, Ogilvy makes the point in the attached that you need peer pressure to make any change.
    https://www.golfdigest.com/story/slo...s-pace-problem

    The players have an Advisory Council, the members have changed in the last couple of years but when I looked a few years ago hoping they would provide some direction, the list included Jim "Snail" Furyk (Chairman), Jason "The Visualiser" Day and everyone's favourite Ben "Is he stopped or moving" Crane. Fat chance of those punters addressing the issue.

    I think somebody pointed out on here a little while ago the only player anyone has taken action against was a Chinese amateur kid at Augusta.

    Even that may have been Augusta National rather than the PGA Tour.

    It won't change until the tv broadcasters make them change.

    Haha. What about the Keegan "shuffle" Bradley? Or Jordan "backoff" Speith"

    Nothing will change for the Pro's, they will continue to set bad examples whilst us club hackers get a letter for finishing a hole behind.

    Mick,

    I agree that the Tour are gutless with this subject, I can't remember the last time anyone got pinged for slow play apart from the Chinese amateur Tianlang Guan who was penalised one stroke at the 2013 Masters.

    BTW, I would have thought it would be Jason "ALL" Day.


    PT
