I agree that Phil's point was to draw attention to the ridiculous conditions. And I tend to agree that since his intent was to influence the movement and not an accidental incident of hitting a ball that moved as a stroke was being made that the proper thing to do would be to DQ Phil. Even Phil can boo-boo and not behave in a manner that promotes the game. Can you imagine recreational golfers now running up to hit a bad putt to keep it from going off the green? Bad example by a good guy. I truly think he should fess up and apologize, it was not in the best interest of the game, and his intent was to influence the ball.
