missed it. what happened?
I'm guessing (hoping, really) it was because no one saw it. But reality is that no one wants to be the a-hole who calls something that "doesn't really matter". It was a 2 foot drop in, so who cares? Such a stupid attitude, especially when we're talking about the biggest event(s) in the sport.
It's at 1:01 of today's video if you want to rewind.
Basically, he missed his 30 footer off the top. It dropped down in front, probably 2-3 feet. He walked up and tossed his putter in as he approached the lie. He was at least two steps behind the disc on the ground when he did it. Never even attempted to make a proper shot with foot on the mark.

Why didn't he just retee to begin with rather than pitching out from there?
You expect these guys to know the rules well enough to invoke Optional Re-throw?
*snicker*
I like 17 as a re-tee, not this way.
17 is a mandatory re-throw if OB.
Re-throw would have been a terrible decision. Why throw three 500' back risking OB again. Throwing 3 50' to land in bounds is way easier than throwing 500' to get to the same spot. Im sure they are well aware of the rules, just better at making decisions than you 2
Wrong again...not to stalk you. AJ just went OB through the green and putted a meter in from last OB. No re-throw.
Avery just pinched his drop in to the inside of the basket...pretty sure that is illegal.

They ruled him in. I heard then say "benefit". Lame. Looked out to all of tv land. I'm sure they had a better view.
He was so out! What? OK disc golf gods just got him. He just threw a perfect drive on 18 and it rolled 100' OB. Sorry JC17393 if I called you out improperly.

Im totally wrong! Sorry! :thmbdown:1978:thmbdown:
So thought they ruled him out...all the voice coverage was that he was out. Damn announcers.

Yes, this is true. From the camera shots, it looked out. But without knowing for sure that the camera was looking directly from above, we don't know.
But if I'm guessing, I'm guessing it was out. I *might* have been touching the line, but I'd say it's 50/50 that those players even know the line itself is out.
Got to keep in mind that the announcers are watching just what we're watching. They don't have any more insight or knowledge than we do most of the time. And they've gotten a few details wrong already today, particularly stuff that's in the caddy book.

John and Dave are so dumb. As he's taking his meter from OB, they're saying it's because he was OB. Well that *couldn't* be, since he'd thrown another drive (provisional) after the (almost) OB one. If they had ruled him OB, his next shot would have been from his last drive, not from the OB one. Derrrrrrrr.
