I like Phil a lot and was really rooting for him to make this the year when he completed the
'career slam,' but his actions today...were over the line IMHO.
It looks like I'm not the only one either.

This isn’t the first time this has happened in a U.S. Open. John Daly hit a moving ball in protest of unfair pins at the 1999 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2. Daly would make an 11 (after the two-shot penalty) on that par-4 eighth on his way to a final-round 13-over 83.

I just hate that he will now be thought of as being in the same category as that embarrassment to golf...John Daly.
