Well, one of the wackiest days in championship golf history. The ruling was correct but unfortunate. What would have really been tough to take is if Dustin Johnson had actually made is putt on 18 for the supposed victory. He would have gone through the high of winning his 1st major to having it be stripped in about 5 minutes time. Dustin seems to have handled this with absolute class. He did make the Ryder Cup and should be a force the 1st week of October in Whales. Hats off to Martin Kaymer for playing fantastic all week and really making a great putt on 18 to get into the playoff and then a huge putt on the 2nd hole of the playoff. He's going to be around for a long time.
I think the greatest thing that has come from the 2010 PGA TOUR season has been the arrival of a bunch of really, really good players in their 20's or early 30's. You have Dustin Johnson, Martin Kaymer, Rickie Fowler, Nick Whatney, Rory McIlroy, Bubba Watson, Matt Kuchar, Jeff Overton, etc...All these guys have some great game and some style as well. Who knows what's in store for Tiger and his game/personal life or Phil Mickelson with his health. It does look like the future is bright with the above mentioned players.
The Ryder Cup is going to be very interesting with so many new players making their perspective teams. Some new stars will certainly come out of the matches.
