It seems rather for him to admit his momentary misjudgement
and apologize publically and move on.
Considering not able to win US Open for his fulfilling career
Grand Slam, I understand his frustration,but he shouldn't do
such behabiors ruinning his reputation! KJ

We often do that in a practice round or casual friendly round or match play where the return
putting does not matter anymore. I think he gave up the tournament when he slammed the
moving ball. I do not think he was trying to save the stroke. But the demeaner was completely
ignoring the weight of the tournament as the PGA player of that magnitude.

Michelson said that he had done it intentionally to save the even larger score.
I will just have to check the rulebook if he was allowed to have done that.
If he thought it was within the rule, and the PGA official did not DQ him,
it must have been OK to have done that. ???!!!
Then, why no one had ever done that before?
I am still confused.
Let's wait and see what the final judgment will be.

Phil scored 10 strokes on Number 13 hole including 2 stroke penalty
for putting the moving ball.
With his straight face he explained the reason for hitting the moving ball,
which was to prevent the ball going off the green, which would have
resulted in score higher than 10 even after the two stroke penalty.
He claimed he did all the analysis and score counting before he did what he did.
He would not admit like John Daley who did the same thing out of the
uncontrollable frustration.
I watched the US Open and the event.
It seeems people don't buy what Phil said.
