For the record, its not silly that this penalty was enforced, it’s silly that you can enforce a penalty for this. In other words:

Yeah because Barstool and Spiranac are poster children for how golf should be governed.
Chamblee is doubling down a bit on this call. He indicated that it might not be called a penalty on Woods or Mickelson. While I agree the Tour might not have penalized them, that is also a problem.
Chamblee did have a good point about the high-definition rule and that NONE OF US would have seen the ball move had the camera not zoomed way in.
I'll be interested to see if the rule doesn't get discussed and possibly cleaned up a bit in the coming weeks because this situation will impact someone again...soon...

I would assume there was a camera somewhere on that hole that could actually confirm if Rahm was looking at the ball or looking at the hole when this occurred.
we are just lucky in this case that it didn't cost him the tournament like the crap Lexi Thompson dealt with a couple of years ago.

I think its the 1st option you mentioned.So the question becomes did they call it bc they knew it wouldn’t impact the outcome, or would they call it if it was a closer finish?

If Barstool is the bar we are setting (no pun intended) on how golf should be played, I will quit the sport.
Barstool has never come up in a golf discussion for me
LMAO Golf Central showing video of the grounds crew ripping up the greens and Chamblee goes "these are the only people who tore up the course today." Alright Brandel, let's see how you would've done out there.
exacrly. They can have their “Bro Golf” with lax rules, nothing wrong with that. I play music and am as slid back as they come on the golf course, but tournament play is different. You have rules to protect the game and the field, otherwise it’s 120 PatrickReed’s out there teeing up.
Its so hard. The rules dont know intent.
The ball moved both in slow mo and in real time and it was pretty easy to see. Did it help him? Maybe, maybe not, but if the only excuse is that he wasn’t looking at the ball, that is hard to base a rule book on.

That's fine. I'm sure he just chose to accept it and move on because it didn't cost him anything. No point in arguing semantics or the general principle of it if your paycheck is the same either way.Rahm himself said it should be a penalty.
I think it was yesterday TF was in the rough around a green and with the cam zoomed in, the same thing happened as his ball moved ever so slightly. I was surprised no one phoned it in?.
I thought we addressed the intent thing to death already a couple of years ago and it got fixed. I guess it only applies to putting?Chamblee is doubling down a bit on this call.
