He was reproached two strokes....He now has to finish the contest with hooting galleries and moronic comments on his mind...
Just watch the game....
Yes, but by Rule 20-1
If the competitor has played a second ball, he must report the facts to the Committee before returning his score card; if he fails to do so, he is disqualified. The Committee must determine whether the competitor has committed a serious breach of the applicable Rule. If he has, the score with the second ball counts and the competitor must add two penalty strokes to his score with that ball. If the competitor has committed a serious breach and has failed to correct it as outlined above, he is disqualified.
Seems that either he must be ruled as not having made an improper drop, or he must be disqualified. Maybe the Committee made the breach in rules.
