Sorry, he gets to drop twice and then place the ball.

That is correct. But, what is considered close? Usually when you incur a penalty, you get stance plus two club lengths and then drop. He dropped within one club length, no closer to hole. I don't see how he was getting an advantage. Not even he is that good. I believe he was full of himself in his press conference when he bragged about moving back so he wouldn't hit the pin again.
