Did they score it correctly? Putting for bogey (5), it runs past.  Putts the ball in motion (6), and it goes past, then marks the ball, putts (7) and misses, then putts into hole (8), plus 2 stroke penalty (10).  They're listing it as a 9.

You don't see that very often. Unfortunate thing to have happen on his birthday.

He did it of his own volition. What was he thinking?!

They just fixed it. They had scored him wrong.

People are wondering if he will get further penalized for it. Him disrespecting the golf/tournament. Also the put in the following hole was done on purpose as well as he laughed afterwards.

What? He hit  a moving ball.

Well his drive hit the fairway, approach was long, wedge rolled off the front. His putt went like it was rolling off the front, again.

At this point we're explaining something foolish - he taps the moving ball. However, if he lets the ball keep rolling off the front, he would have a second 30 yard-ish wedge back onto the green, and then another couple of putts to get in the hole.

So the two-stroke penalty equals the likeliest outcome of a wedge back and two putts. At worst he added one stroke to his score of 81, not any matter for someone who at the moment is 19 strokes back of the leader with one round left.

No.

The rules can’t make assumptions about what you would do from there.

Also, he could have played under stroke and distance and replayed the putt.

True. And Phil would place his reputation above all else.

The idea that this was a calculated or even "smart" move is absurd. Phil will be very embarrassed about it. From now on, every time there's an issue with very fast greens at a major they'll be replaying this. A bit sad.

10 minutes later.....

Yet..........now he is saying it WAS calculated. Bad look.

Phil could've gotten disqualified had they decided that he stopped the ball on purpose. Instead he got a penalty for hitting the ball while still moving.

Yeah. I disagree with that.

I haven't seen any embarrassment on his part. He was smirking/laughing after leaving that hole. I am wondering if he will address the media. He made a fool of himself and I agree the video will played for years to come.

Curtis Strange was suppose to get an interview with him but I haven't heard anything since...

I don't disagree with the rule at all, just saying the penalty isn't consequential, as far as his score in this round or finish in this tournament. He definitely gets some type of a hit to his rep, but to me this will be replayed excessively given the zero impact on the finish. No reason for people to diva this out.

Starting today at +6 he had a chance to win, if he had played as well as Finau or Berger he would be in the top 10. Poor strategy and mental breakdown over the course of the round, but in the moment not really a difference maker to his result.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
