Harrington, Bjorn come to defense of rule changes

After yet another week of rules controversies, PGA Tour players continue to take to social media to show their disdain for some of the changes to the Rules of Golf.

Patton Kizzire, in reference to Adam Schenk becoming the latest victim of the caddie-alignment rule: "Great rule. Said no one ever."

Andrew Landry called the new rules "garbage."

And Justin Thomas spent much of his Friday evening ranting on Twitter, prompting the USGA's PR account to tweet back, "Justin, we need to talk."

But it appears not every pro golfer shares those strong feelings.

Padraig Harrington and Thomas Bjorn came to the defense of the USGA and the R&A, both saying that the rule changes were made with input from players.
