I was pulling for FR, but I'm glad to see that deal on 18 not cost Zach the tournament.
Zach Johnson: How To Get Back To The Ball: Golf DigestWhen I'm hitting the ball great, I know my arms and body are matching up well. But sometimes my body takes over at the start of the downswing. That's when I can hit some crooked shots. I want my arms to pull my body, not the other way around, in both directions--swinging back and swinging down.
That's probably different from what you've heard, with all the talk these days about turning the body. The reality is, most golfers have too much body turn and not enough arm swing as they start down...
To groove your downswing, here are a couple of thoughts: (1) Keep your back to the target for as long as possible, and (2) feel like your chest is facing the ball at impact. These cues will get your arms swinging down in front of you instead of being dragged through by an overactive body.
I was pulling for Zach as well, I am so glad that the fiasco at the end didn't cost him the tournament, I would hate to see anyone lose from a mistake like that.
OK Mike I will bite, who in the world is "FR"

We were talking about his mistake during our round of golf yesterday. He was assessed a two stroke penalty but did he have to go back the 18th, replace his ball in the original position, and remake the putt?
No. After the ball is holed, you can only add the applicable penalty to the situation.Is that because of the amount of time that had elapsed between the completion of the hole? If Duffner had noticed and called him on it when it happened he would have had to re-putt from the correct position no?
