I believe the rules official was watching a replay on a monitor, not close enough to Rahm to see him address the ball, when they noticed it and investigated further. This is a tough one, because once it has been seen it can't be unseen. At the same time, not everyone has the same attention on them and so that's why calling our own fouls is necessary and what makes the game so great. I just really hope that Rahm didn't notice the ball had moved, but chose not to call the penalty on himself. Things like that will forever follow you, just ask Vijay Singh.
