Anyone know what the ruling is for doing that, surely you can get disqualified?
I like Phil but that was poor.

I do believe it’s an act of defiance, he knows exactly what he’s doing but just doesn’t give a rats @rs3 anymore, even if it results in a DQ.
Just asked the question of Twitter..
As he's been given the penalty, are that able to DQ him?
Has the rule breech been dealt with and that's the end?
I don't know - we need Colin or Rulefan..
Will be interesting to hear what the other players think about it. However, I bet they won’t say anything in the media about it.
On what basis are people suggesting he should be DQ'd? The penalty for making a stroke at a moving ball is 2 strokes and there is no provision for a DQ under that rule. He clearly made a stroke at a moving ball and so a 2 stroke penalty it is.

breach of Rule 1-2 if the Committee
considers that the action taken in breach of this Rule has allowed him or another player to gain a significant advantage or has placed another player, other than his partner, at a significant disadvantage.
Mickelson deliberately hit the moving ball to stop it going off the green which would have left him a harder shot so for me he gave himself an advantage and it should be a DQ
It would seem that the knob heads have been in the beer tent and have now mustered on the 1st tee.
I don’t believe he’s withdrawn, I think the TV people assumed it when he hit the moving ball, it certainly hasn’t been confirmed.But how can you be DQ’d if you’ve already withdrawn and are simply playing out, surely you’re no longer officially in the comp? It’s a 10 on his card apparently and it’s obvious he couldn’t give a Tom tit about it.
Rule 1-2 only applies if there is no other rule that applies to the situation. Rule 14-5 applies to a player making a stroke at a moving ball. As Mickelson made a stroke at a moving ball rule 14-5 applies and so Rule 1-2 cannot be used.
Makes a change for them being on the Forum...........😉😂😂
