Shall we then by others contention apply the same focus on those who tamp down rough when putting the club behind the ball ? Or even more equally shuffling the feet in bunkers which could be mounting a argument of building at stance or testing ground... depends on point of view .
Under real time no slow motion no zoom in , if you were a spectator Or player in group or official it couldn’t be detected as the crest of sand was at best on the underside of the club. Compressing suggests a vertical downward motion. To move grains of sand was more a brush as in takeaway club face
I don’t agree with the penalty as it we are playing technicalities. Yet if we applied as suggested commonsense ( was it deliberate or incidental etc caused in the act of, I would suggest the player had far more focus on landing point and alignment etc for his back than sand issue , these people both male and female are brilliant at lies that are less than ideal. On courses tricked up for reward and punishment.
The punitive side of golf should be applied equally so across all strokes regardless of ball position on course ( fairway bunker ,rough etc ) and personalities.
That said it’s been a compelling tournament thus far and more to come.
