Changing my mind on this now as well.
Remember when those female Chinese athletes suddenly started destroying middle distance records, knocking 30 seconds at a time off the 5000m (something like that). Everyone just assumed it was doping, and the one who broke the records later admitted it.
Saying that, I think those world records still stand. Would it be worth it to have a world record if there's a big asterisk next to it?

Of course all the competitors with the exception of Johnson may have been heathens but I find this unlikely.
Also, what did Zach Johnson do to offend God so much in 2015/16 that prevented him from retaining his title and stopped him winning it back in the last seven British Opens?

Can’t comment on the last seven years but at the moment the wizard has his hands full with CCMB posters. Johnson’s wizard experience is in the past.

That would be the late Jon Lord of Deep Purple fame. A great keyboard player who sadly knew nothing about golf.
