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

He's getting old and can't remember the rules. Will have to watch out for old farts doing the same thing in the next 2 days

It would seem that the knob heads have been in the beer tent and have now mustered on the 1st tee.
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.

Very un-Phil like. Can imagine a big fine coming his way. Is it me or are there more idiots screaming after every shot than usual. Becoming a royal pain the butt watching and hearing that every shot

Agreed, I'll be surprised if he's playing tomorrow.

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..

They can DQ him after but they will bottle - and they have done suggesting it wasn’t done on purpose :rofl:
If it wasn’t Mickelson then it would be a DQ

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.

If they impose a two shot penalty and he signs for a correct score card then I don't think he can be DQ'd although stand to be corrected

Its no different to when Woods should have been DQ'd from the Masters - they arent going to DQ them

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.

Exactly. Some looking for something that isn't there as long as he signs his card and signs for a correct score. Unprofessional behaviour and I expect a hefty fine and nothing else. Not sure why the USGA are bottling it

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
But how can you be DQ’d if you’ve already withdrawn and are simply playing out, surely you’re no longer officially in the comp?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.

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.

Well said. Can't understand why people are so keen for him to be DQ'd. I'm sure Mickleson will make a full statement. Not like him to hide away and sure it'll all become clear
You mean to say some have been let out on their own, ffs, god help us all 😜
