If the tournament officials are really concerned with fairness and accuracy, I suggest they review third round footage of Tony Final who did the exact same thing as Rahm, but conveniently wasn't noticed by the television crew. Under the same "rules", Finau should have been penalized, then disqualified for signing an incorrect score card. I say leave these matters up to the players and the official with each group.
You are exactly correct. Does this happen in baseball, basketball or football were a caller or tv crew can call in and penalize a player?
