Are you sure? Luke Donald was involved in the "sand on the fringe" incident a few months earlier. If Luke had been involved in both incidents then things might have got a bit tense!

According to this link it was caddie Dave Fenwick who noticed this - he reported it because Rory might've been disqualified if it had only come to light after he'd signed his card (e.g. if a TV viewer had called it in). http://www.barryrhodes.com/2014/01/the-rory-mcilroy-rules-incident.html
