  As the guys above, WGT also told me that this is not a mistake.
  I share with you the answer.

  Oh well, here I am again.

  Same problem, different hole location. Join a RG at Oakmont, nothing much than what expected but after a bad 2 lines on front got a little recovery and scores birdies on #5, #6 and #7, oh no,that last one was only what I saw but not what rolls. Hit over 75,000 putt but I never got any type of recrimination for lip out or metered from short shot, just want to say that this second one "missed birdie" take me down a little. Shame on me.

  Oakmont #7, 15 ft. birdie.

  Send a report to the support. Just wait and see.

  Cheers,
  David.

  Unfortunately, its all to common in the game to see this thing happen, again and again. Another view will show the ball missing the hole. This is despite the fact that WGT will tell you they can lazer map a course to 1 thousandth of an inch, or something similar.

  I know which will the answer TMO, I only want to share this one. Watched maybe 5 times and during the replay I found 4 different "breaks" that show gravity un-force the ball, mystic.

  By the way, just to chat, pleasure to read different opinion.

  Cheers,
  David.

  From view one it clearly passed behind the hole. These views do tend to vary as they are only assimilated.

  I had a similar experience about a month ago where the ball comes to rest in "mid-air" after my approach shot. Here's the replay (Camera 2 is the best view).

  Pffft. Try 1/2".

  Gosh, never thought to dust off this thread but here I am.

  As for the first post, this is my replay for another unbelieveble missed birdie at Whistler #12 and if the first replay was unlucky, well this one make me piss off because I was sure to score the hole down.

  Just to share.

  To be honest David - this one never looked like going in as it was breaking away from the hole.......but when it caught the edge of the hole it defied all odds lol - looked like it would have dropped but the pin was suddenly back in the hole denying it LOL.

  The Whistler putt - that is just BS LOL - if that was not in I will eat my hat!

  That said, replays do not tell the truth due to mapping errors. frustrating, farcical,funny but not conclusive of what really happened.
