He thought his ball was embedded, called for an official and then picked his ball up before the official got there. Looks like he secretly cleaned it too.

(65,213 posts)Recreational golfers can get too worried about the rules.
But, if I have a rock in front of my ball in the bunker, I move it. It doesn't affect my partners' game, and they know I don't get my clubs for free.
But, a pro doing it creates an advantage that affects everyone else in the field.
I'm a proponent for relaxing the rules some if it speeds up play and makes it fun.
In competition, there's no relaxing of rules.
I played competitive golf on and off from 1971 to 2008. (Maybe 20 of those years?)
I would never clean or change out a ball in the middle of a hole. And I wasn't playing for a million & a half dollar first prize.
He's a recurring line stepper. He's very unpopular with the other pros.
