Dustin Dustup

[BC MIST]

Dustin Johnson was late for his first round tee time at the recent Northern Trust Open because he relied on his caddy to keep track of time, which he did not. Fortunately, a PGA Tour official told DJ that he was late and DJ raced up the 100 foot hill to arrive 4:50 AFTER his scheduled T time. And with more good fortune, the Conditions of Competition had the 5 minute local rule in effect, so DJ was only penalized two strokes for his tardiness versus being disqualified.

Golf Channel reporter Jim Gray, when he became aware of the penalty, went out on the course to interview DJ about his blunder but was prevented from doing so by the caddie. After the round, the caddie, Bobbie Brown and Gray, got into a heated, profanity laced argument, and GC withdrew Gray from the telecast.

I thought that it was the actual tee time that the player/caddie were confused about...for example, they thought it was 820 but actually it was 750? That's what I understood it to be, anyway.

The actual time was 7:32. It is Dustin's routine, apparently, to leave the the starting time up to his caddie, who admitted that he screwed up.

The best thing about this is that Jim Gray got the boot.

Who tries get an interview while they are still playing? It definately seems odd. Even if the situation were posative, save the interviews for after the round.

I always thought Jim Gray was a weasel. So I googled "Jim Gray is a weasel", and it's been confirmed with a link.

Isn't Jim Gray the weasel the guy who got in a shouting match with Corey Pavin?
