LA ROMANA, Dominican Republic Will players really be allowed to putt with the pins in during at the Masters?Asked that question Thursday at the Latin America Amateur Championship, Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley didnt say no.Under the new Rules of Golf, which went into effect on Jan. 1, players are now allowed to leave the flagstick in while on the greens, as Bryson DeChambeau so eagerly demonstrated.Given Augustas slick and sloped putting surfaces, its possible, even likely, that a player will save multiple shots using the pin as a backstop. Picture a player putting down the hill towards the water on the par-5 15th, for example.Addressing the possibility of Augusta National going against the Rules of Golf during Masters week, Ridley first thanked the USGAs Mike Davis and R&As Martin Slumbers for their work, then preached a message of consistency at the games highest levels.We will, as we always do, collaborate with the governing bodies. We will talk about those local rules and conditions that will be implemented, Ridley said.We think its important that there be some consistency in top championship golf, and so you should expect that the Masters Tournament, from a rules perspective, will look very much, if not the same, as what youre seeing in the major championships and the professional tours.Last week at the Sony Open, 2013 Masters champion Adam Scott told reporters that hell be leaving the pin all year, even if he has a 6-foot putt to win his second green jacket.
Adam Scott says he will leave the flagstick in on every putt, even if it's a six-footer to win the Masters."As you know, I'm not a person who cares how things look...I was a 30-year old man putting with a broomstick."— RonGreenJr (@RonGreenJr) January 9, 2019Updated at 7:42 p.m. ET

Seems fair, but part two of Thomas' answer shows that no matter how much he tries to minimize it, it still means a lot to reach the top. "I think I was in the middle of flying home when D.J. finished [the Players], and I had been told [I was No. 1]. And it was like, OK, I'm almost home, but when I wake up tomorrow [and see it].

I give Justin Thomas credit for criticizing the USGA earlier this year on the record, saying he opposed many of the new rules changes and that the USGA should set up courses for the Open the way the PGA Tour does for weekly events. I credit him for honesty and for not hiding behind anonymity. And I completely disagree with him.
But he and his friend hug, often have their arms around each other, sit next to each other on our couch when watching TV, and talk for hours in our backyard. are less self-righteous than the
