Saw this the other day. Bit of discussion as to what happened etc.
Did he throw the club in anger, did he think it was going to drop so lifted the putter up in joy & it slipped etc?
As for ruling no idea...

I think he was celebrating it going in and the club slipped

Not sure - One shot penalty and replace the ball from where it was first moved.
TBH probably just better to WD and go home!!!

Just ask @MichaelClayto15 on twitter - pretty sure he'll tell you what score he had to sign for

Yes, I assume it is Rule 18, as he accidentally caused his ball to move, so would replace under penalty of one stroke. However, could you argue he actually deflected the ball whilst it was in motion, so he's actually have to play it where it lies with penalty of 1 stroke.

Ball seems to have stopped by the time he hits it.

It also hits his arm so I would think there would be multiple penalties.

Nah, the first penalty is where it stops. You don't apply multiple penalties, you take the first one.

did he repair the pitch marks from his putter?

The ruling is he has to play the rest of the round without his trousers on whilst wearing a dunce cap
