And the FOX guys bringing up a great point. Dustin Johnson has been notified he might be charged a penalty stroke... but have the other players around him been made aware of it? That's a huge deal.

However, I would say that it's karma for the bullshit he pulled off on 10. He claimed line of sight relief and ended up with a perfect lie when he was deep in the rough when he obviously didn't need it, because he flew the ball right over the tower. If he ends up getting penalized, it will have been deserved, because hitting that shot on 10 after that ruling was a cheesedick move. Also: The USGA asked Dustin Johnson what else could have caused his ball to move on the 5th green. Johnson did not give an answer to that which is why after his round, the USGA will take DJ to watch the video and decide if he gets a one shot penalty.

Just a brutal bunker lie here for Sergio.

Look, the same thing happened to Lowry yesterday and he took the penalty stroke. The issue here is with the USGA's timing and delivery of the message. If Johnson grounded his club behind the ball and it moved, he should be assessed the penalty stroke.
FWIW, there is a reason why players will hover their clubheads over delicate lies, and it has to do with situations like this.

Sergio buried one in the bunker about as much as you'll see. You could barely even see the ball.

What other sport do you not know the score while still playing? It's asinine.

It is on Johnson to determine whether or not this happened.

Conspiracy theory:
With the big names out of it, FOX / USGA has drummed up controversy through using the rule change concerning balls moving at address to generate increased views, and perhaps more importantly in the long run, something to spark discussion and therefore future interest in other events.

And Jason Day implodes. He could've knocked in a birdie or two he'd given himself and outside shot.

Dropping like flies now. Piercy misses a par putt. Jim Furyk's score is legitimately in play now.

He should not have taken his practice strokes that close to the ball. That looks like a penalty stroke to me, but I don't think they'll assess it.
