Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1793875, member: 289"] So Dustin Johnson's ball moves while he's taking a practice swing. There's an issue of whether he grounded his club, (arugggh! not again) and whether he caused the ball to move. An official on the scene rules he did not ground his club or cause the ball to move. Dustin later takes a two stroke lead with 8 holes to go. Then he is informed that they are "taking another look at it" but do not have a ruling yet. Then they decide they will figure it out "after the round"- the final round of the US Open! The man has the right to know where he stands. it will impact his strategy and emotional state as he tries to finally win his first ever major tournament. In any other sport this would be figured out before play was allowed to continue and if play did continue, they would not go back and make a retroactive ruling. That's the way it should be done.
