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.

Ed,

Does the this rule, given to every competitor change your view on what they considered a bunker for the week?

Bunkers: All areas of the course that were designed and built as sand bunkers will be played as bunkers (hazards), whether or not they have been raked. This will mean that many bunkers positioned outside of the ropes, as well as some areas of bunkers inside the ropes, close to the rope line, will likely include numerous footprints, heel prints and tire tracks during the play of the Championship. Such irregularities of surface are a part of the game and no free relief will be available from these conditions.
