Right. The rules committee told him after he got off 18 that they reviewed his drop and it was legal. He signed his scorecard based on that ruling.

I think the 2 stroke penalty is fair - that is what he would have gotten if they told him at 18 that he had incurred a penalty. He would have then dropped the 2 strokes from his score and signed for the -1.
