In The Guardian of today, Martin Slumbers R&A chief executive says : « We have looked very carefully at the Rules and I don’t think it was good for the game and not the right way to play this wonderful sport ... Rule 1-2 says you can’t use 1-2 if you’ve used another rule,so they used 14-5. We understand the USGA and the referee’s Decision and completely respect those decisions. But there are others parts of the rule book which refer to etiquette and the powers of the committee, and we’re fully aware of those clauses ». 
From this indication, it would seem that the R&A would have backed the disqualification.
