Controversy - Ryder Cup selection/Dustin Johnson at USPGA
Controversy - Ryder Cup selection/Dustin Johnson at USPGA
There was plenty of controversy over both the scheduling of the Taylormade R7 CGB MAX Fairway Wood - (who'd have thought there would be heavy rain in Wales in early October!) - and also the selection process for the European team with Paul Casey and Justin Rose both missing out. But the season's most memorable controversy came at the final hole of the USPGA Championship as Dustin Johnson was handed a two-stroke penalty after grounding his Taylormade R7 CGB MAX Fairway Wood in what was deemed a bunker. In DJ's defence, spectators had been stood in what was one of the less obvious sand traps of the 1500 scattered around Whistling Straits as his wayward drive at the 72nd landed amongst the huge crowds. He remained unaware of his error until he was informed by an official as he departed the final green having missed what he thought was a putt to win the championship. In the event his penalty cost him the chance to compete in a play-off Taylormade R7 CGB MAX Fairway Wood, but to his eternal credit Johnson accepted the decision with good grace - hopefully his time will come again.
