Typical Sergio short putt. How many times have we seen that over the years?

To be fair, there appeared to be an unfixable mark right on his line. Note with the new rules which will be in effect soon you will now be able to tamp that down.

The legality, you mean. I mean, there is NO other sport, anywhere, where that kind of crap is allowed, the norm, where people outside the circle of officialdom can influence the results of a sporting event. Lexi Thompson got burned by that a few weeks ago, note: -4 strokes worth of penalties.
