Poll: Who Had The Worse Year? USGA vs. PGA Of America
/Now I know what you're saying, no one can top the USGA's handling of the Dustin Johnson ruling news (or the ruling itself), the Bethany Lang/Anna Nordqvist ruling delivery, and president Diana Murphy's two warbling trophy presentation speeches. Our late, great friend Frank Hannigan wouldn't even allow that these events could be topped.
But then the PGA Of America arrived at Baltursol where they famously wouldn't move those 2005 final round times up an hour so a 60 Minutes re-run could get a strong lead in, only to finish on Monday because of that stubborness. They repeat the same lack of adaptability on Saturday this year at the same course, Baltusrol, only to salvaged Sunday by weather that didn't come and stellar dramatics from Jimmy Walker and Jason Day. There's more, though! They actually cut a hole in the incorrect location and no one noticed until a group had gone through. As Brian Wacker notes, they also played lift, clean and place (wisely it turns out), but a day after preaching lofty standards about starting on the first tee and playing the ball down.
So much to wade through! I have voted and will share my answer later, but for now I put the question to you...
