I've only caught a bit of the details on this, but had a question for those that watched it.

Was there a rake in the 'bunker'?

Is there any official or local rule about having rakes available in an area deemed a 'bunker' vs a waste area?

Seems to me the standard is that having a rake signals bunker, not having one signals waste area.

(especially when the crowd is allowed to walk in/on the area, which as far as I know, spectators aren't usually allowed to walk in any areas considered bunkers).

Regardless, a sad outcome for Dustin, one that I'm sure he and his caddy won't make again.
