Thats why he didn't sign it right away a breech of the rule was in question so when the official stated the decision it then became official and then he signed the card. Correct?
Exactly. When signed and the player leaves the scoring area, his score becomes official as signed. Any penalties may still be applied however, until the competition is closed. Thats why people get DQ'd for signing incorrect scorecards. Their score is official, but the competition was not yet closed.
Once the results are announced, all bets are off except for the exceptions posted above. Clear as mud?

DJ played the course all week and possibly several times previously in his career. 18 is covered with bunkers. How could he not realize he was in a bunker??? IMHO Just a case of being so caught up in the moment he forgot the rules
History is showing that in the final rd this guy dosen't think to well in majors. Maybe if he didn't flunk out of Coastal 2 major victories and also the caddie is fired if i dont know the rules i want my caddie to know them
