Default Morikawa Didn't Cheat

For those who think that Collin Morikawa cheated on the sixth hole of The Masters, they are wrong. Here is what happened. As he addressed the unmarked ball, the ball moved a little bit. So, he bent done and replaced the ball to it's original position, which is what he is supposed to do. While he was replacing the ball, he had also placed a coin on the green to use to mark the ball after replacing it. The coin had not been been previously used at that location to mark the ball, and the ball had never been at that location. Some people think that he moved the ball closer to the hole because of where the coin was located before he replaced the ball. He did not violate any rule.
