These Usga guys suck. Talk about too much starch in their collars.
The USGA can't triple cut already the fastest greens in the world and roll them twice in one day... And then be shocked that balls on the green may roll on their own without any influence from the players. It's an absurd ruling, in my opinion, and an even more atrocious handling of it.

I understand what you are saying, but my question is this: If this is the case, why is this the only time it has happened? (Lowry said that he caused the ball to move.)

The handling of it is appallingly bad.
I keep coming back to the thought that the usga must be absolutely convinced they've got DJ dead on the video to have stuck their neck out like this.
It's happened to another player today (can't remember name) and it was ruled he did not cause it to move.
It happened earlier today to some random euro romaine wattel
Thanks. I didn't realize that.
Another thing that I've never understood. Why do players take practice putts about one-quarter inch from the ball? In this case, of course, the ball didn't move during the practice stroke, but I've just never understood why the player didn't have the putter 2 or 3 inches away from the ball during a practice stroke, instead of trying to be almost touching the ball. I would always be afraid that I was going to hit the ball during a practice stroke if I had the putter less than a half inch from the ball during a practice stroke.
Also, on greens this fast, the wind from the putter going by the ball during a practice stroke might possibly make the ball move....or at least dislodge the ball somehow so that when the putter was placed behind the ball to address it, the ball might move. This, in fact, might be what the ruling is going to be here.
ETA: Don't think any ruling is going to matter now. All of DJ's challengers have gone into full reverse.
Sweet edit at the end. What was that about DJ not being mentally strong enough? With all the bs with the penalty shot hanging over his head, that was one the most clutch finishes I can recall
I doubt I won, but this is by far the best finish I've ever had -
1) Dustin Johnson -4
T2) Jim Furyk -1
T8) Jason Day +2
T37) Angel Cabrera and Jordan Spieth +9
(and my 6th was Webb, womp womp)
