[Hebrews 11:6]

You've missed a subtle point: no one has ever intentionally hit a moving ball in order to gain unfair advantage, as Phil did today. The rule was written to cover inadvertent or insignificant errors.No one ever before tried this.

You are losing it ...

[TexasGator]

Why would you levy a two stoke penalty for an insignificant error?

[DouglasKC]

How do you inadvertently hit a moving ball??? I can’t imagine a scenario especially if it’s yoir own ball .

[JustOneStarfish]

"...no one has ever intentionally hit a moving ball..."

You mean to tell me you don't remember John Daly in the 1999 U.S. Open at Pinehurst doing this exact same thing and getting the exact same penalty? I would argue that Phil was much more professional in his actions yesterday than Mr. Daly was in 1999.

You seem to be somewhat misinformed about both the rules and the history of golf. Since I'm pretty sure you are neither a PGA pro or a USGA Rules Official, it might serve you well to remember that your opinion of what should happen (which you are fully entitled to) is just that: opinion.
