Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 1794755, member: 569"] Its not uncommon to put a player on notice of review during a round. But those are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounds when its not of vital importance to the outcome of the tourney. This is done to avoid a hold up in play. In any other round this would have been fine IMO and I can't remember it every happening in the 4th round with a player who was in contention. Penalizing him was the wrong call from what I saw and with the conditions of the greens. It was also inconsistent with the ruling they had on another player who actually addressed the ball with his putter, grounded it and the ball wobbled. They chose not to penalize in that instance. Johnson's putter was clearly in the air and didn't touch the ball it was a greens condition issue but the USGA will never admit that. [/QUOTE]
