Putting on the surface is hard enough, and now we have to go underground?

  Chambers Bay #11, birdie attempt from the top of the ridge: http://www.wgt.com/replay.aspx?ID=bda95d89-c424-4fec-9687-a4ac003fa1ae

  And the par attempt went under the hole: http://www.wgt.com/replay.aspx?ID=e57e23e2-c958-4dfd-b49f-a4ac004174e8

  As did the bogey putt: http://www.wgt.com/replay.aspx?ID=06b42cdb-8695-4b8e-98fd-a4ac0041f604

  And the double bogey tap-in: http://www.wgt.com/replay.aspx?ID=2b42b887-3613-4689-89e9-a4ac00425d8a

  And the triple: http://www.wgt.com/replay.aspx?ID=98bfa3ad-c569-4d72-9e6d-a4ac0043b205

  The quad didn't look so bad except that it completely forgot to break, which anyone who's played the hole knows is impossible: http://www.wgt.com/replay.aspx?ID=81b80dda-b18c-4928-a211-a4ac004400d6

  I finally managed to hole out for 9 when, after the previous putt, I decided to aim in the center even though there was a hard break to the right. It apparently met the hole somewhere underground. 

  I was -9 through 10. I am not happy.

  replay of last replay

  Tried making it a direct link to see if it would lose the advert - no luck

  Made the first three putts into GIFs for easier viewing: One, Two, Three.

  I've seen some anomalies, both while playing live and when watching replays...but nothing I've seen comes close to the insanity you encountered on that green.

  I watched each of your replays several times and still have no idea what was going on.  I kept thinking Bugs Bunny was going to jump out and show us a rubber band attached to the ball and this playing in the background:

  I am quite serious about this. The US Open qualifier cut is likely to drop to 55 before this weekend is over, knocking my current 56 out. -9 through 11, assuming I would have missed the birdie putt, is very much in the running for a 55.

  Indeed, very much in the running for a 55 if not for the insanity at #11.  My post wasn't to make light of your predicament, was just pointing out that I've never seen anything quite like what you went through on that hole...no offense intended at all.

  Oh, no, my post wasn't aimed at you, but at WGT's response (or lack thereof). What should be the recourse for a serious WGT bug during their flagship tournament?

  from what I can see - theyd rather respond to a thread about using a mouse for android wgt than look at this bug.

  watched the putts here and theyre out of this world - but I believe their message would be they dont know whats causing it. just like with the dots on the greens, and tourneys loading but not actually loading, new pins stuffing loading up, blah blah blah blah

  unlucky to happen on that round tho - altho its quite common for good rounds to be derailed by stuff like this, just not so obvious its trying to make u miss lol
