Sam Burns talked about the casual water ruling he received during the final round of the U.S. Open.

yeah so that fairway obviously slopes left to right um and that’s kind of the low part of the fairway there um you know when I walked into it clearly could see water coming up um and took practice swings and it’s just you know water splashing every single time um called a rules official over they disagreed i looked at it again I thought maybe I should get a second opinion um that rules official also disagreed um so at the end of the day I mean you know it’s not up to me it’s up to the rules official and that’s kind of that um I mean it’s a tough golf course and um I didn’t have my best stuff and clearly it showed what did you do during the delay to try to stay locked in uh grabbed a little food um didn’t seem that long of a delay i mean by the time we got back here and uh then back out to the range so it wasn’t wasn’t too bad

    They – PGA and Courses entities are the gods of golf and you, miserable players, have nothing to disagree if you plan to continue to be invited to the gods's banquets…

    Karma for not hitting his tee shot on 8 and delaying to wait for the horn when he had plenty of time to hit

    Very mature response. It looked like bull to me and I was surprised the second official didn't overrule the first. It's the official's call or what's the point of officials.

    New level of rerspect for Sam. Hope he gets a major W soon. Moments like this show whether you are a true sportsman or not. Bro passed the vibe check.

    He should have taken relief for casual water WITHOUT asking the official. Case closed. Different result probably.

    Class act. I'll say this after watching all day. The whole golf course was casual water. If they started granting casual water relief for everyone who felt like they deserved it the final round would have never finished

    Rules officials were totally wrong, he handled their horrible call with class. Watched my last US Open, Courses are ridiculous as is their setups.
