If they truly care about the integrity of the game they would have taken DJ at his word.

Completely agree with this. It's always been up to the player to call it on themselves, like Shane Lowry did in round 2. I think this sets a precedent and gives a lot of power to the rules officials. I've never seen a penalty enforced like that.
