2 stroke penalty was the right decision.
At the time, I MAYBE agree with you (I still think he took a significant advantage so the rule calls for a DQ) but once he signed his card he needs to be DQed.

Then alert him before he signs the card and play on.

If a player intends to ground their club in hazard but don't, they don't get penalized.
He was two inches off not two yards.
It was a bad penalty.

in his own words he admitted to taking advantage of the rules to put himself in better position. at any other time in the history of golf he would be DQ'd. hes lucky to have gotten a 2 stroke penalty.

Yes, If I am going into the hazard to play a ball where I think my best option is to play the ball (even with grounding my club) and I tell my competitor that "Hey, I am going to play this ball and I will have to ground my club"
I will be assessed the penalty no matter if I actually ground it or not.

Intent counts on swings.

ill take your word for it but that doesn't sound right. so after the round if you say in an interview that you played 2 different types of balls but you actually didn't upon further inspection, you would still be penalized?

Tiger basically got penalized for being honest to Fred Riely (the head rules guy) well after the round had ended. He wasnt penalized for the drop as the committee had originally ruled that the drop was clean before the interview.

Sure ... If I sign for a 5 on hole 18 and I said that I made a 4 after the round (even though I actually made a 5) they would DQ me ...
At least the HD camera rule can come into play in these cases.
I had a case in college where my ball was on the green. I marked it and rubbed the mud off the ball by rubbing it on the green. My playing partner called it on me saying that I was testing the green surface (of course that was not my intention) .. The tournament official called the USGA and the decision was that since my intention was not to test the green but in fact to clean the ball I was not penalized.
Again I am no rules expert but, my point is, that in my experience your intention matters in the game of golf.

im talking about playing 2 different types of balls. i shoot 70 and tell the camera after the round that i strategically played a different compression ball on 18. they tell me i violated a rule and will be DQ'ed. after looking at the ball i used on 18, it ends up being the same compression as the other ball i used. so i still get DQ'ed??

Anyone paying any attention could tell his ball ended up at least 4 feet behind his original shot.

I knew what you meant and I answered of course you would be DQed (unless there where tv camera because that is a case where this hd tv rule may be applied) But say in a college event, OF COURSE YOU WOULD BE DQed. Just as you would in my example about the score on hole 18.

Let the excuses begin for not winning another major. Wait, they began four years ago.
