"Ray Charles could have seen it was a bunker."
/Thanks to Brooks for spotting Gary D'Amato's short post after running into Pete Dye at the new French Lick Resort where the octegenarian architect was still talking about Dustin Johnson.
So I'm playing golf with my buddies at the Pete Dye Course at French Lick Springs Resort on vacation, and who do we run across on the course with his dog, Sixty?
It was the perfect opportunity to ask him about Dustin Johnson and the controversial two-stroke penalty Johnson incurred for grounding his club in a bunker on the 72nd hole of the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.
"I was standing right there," Dye said. "When he hit the ball in the bunker, the referee walked up to him and said, 'Do you need anything?' and Dustin said, 'No, I'm good.' There were no beer cans in the bunker, there were no chicken bones in there. Ray Charles could have seen it was a bunker."
Sounds like someone's been having to take one too many calls from a cranky Mr. Kohler!
