Phils happened out of frustration. Tigers at Augusta was just a careless mistake. Both way overblown in my opinion. I think the shadiest thing I've seen is the gallery moving the boulder for Tiger early in his career.

Give it up man. Geez, almost every golf commentator all said it was blatant. He pretty much said he was trying to drop for better spot. It is the Masters as his long time world cup partner said, none other than David Duvall who is as close to Tiger as any competitor of their time. It was obvious and should have been disqualified. Guess what. Pro's know their divots, they know where they hit the shot from, Duvall and his peers all said he knew better and should be disqualified but Masters bought his logic.Lol, give it up. It was not intentional. You just said it, he didn’t realize it. How can it be intentional when one does not realize it’s against the rules? Phil knew what he was doing, Tiger made a mistake and did not realize it was a rules violation.<===and for that matter all on the scene, most at home watching, rules official on hand, fans, players and caddies in the grouping didn’t realize it. It was a blunder but no intent. Fact.
The act can absolutely be intentional while not realizing it also is a rules violation. He intentionally dropped 2 yards back. He didn’t accidentally drop 2 yards back. It was planned. It was intentional. The ball didn’t fall out of his pocket. No idea how you can dispute that.

His argument is that he didn't intentionally break the rules, which you agreed with.The act can absolutely be intentional while not realizing it also is a rules violation.

No disrespect because you are top notch as far as posters on here but I have to disagree.Thought the course became a joke on Saturday, and can't blame Phil for getting frustrated and showing his ass. Although it is a really bad look for a pro, he did not "cheat", i.e., he took an immediate 2 shot penalty and carded a 10 on the hole without complaint. Don't think anyone is going to try that move very often.
But . . . even though the course was awful on Saturday, on Sunday, the main contenders turned out to be Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Tommy Fleetwood, and Patrick Reed, or in order: The no. 1 player in the world, the current US Open Champ, the no. 1 player in Europe last season, and the current Master champ, so at the end of the day, the US Open identified a pretty stellar leader board and crowned a deserving champion.
