That's the real question isn't it? How did other players treat this area? We'll never know how others played it because most of the 100's of other shots from this area and similar ones weren't on TV. On TV it looked a lot more like a trampled, worn sandy area than any sort of a bunker, but if you caught the computer graphic of the hole where they showed DJ's shot, the ball was being shown in a bunker.

Too bad he didn't just hit it straight(er).

Respectfully BamBam,

NO. It doesn't matter what other players did when not on camera. What matters when applying the rules of golf is officiating what you see, using all the resourses available to you.

Fair? No

Golf is not always fair, but we can't fault the PGA for the way the situation was handled. We are being vilified for doing the proper thing.
