I think Phil’s “interpretation” of the rules is technically correct, I don’t think it’s in the spirit of the rules. It all depends on which rule you want to enforce. The USGA went with 14-5, which is how Phil was thinking. Guess they could have tried 1-2 or 33-7 and given him a DQ. Didn’t John Daly do the same thing a number of years ago, maybe at Pinehurst?
