Anyone else on that course would have given themselves a stroke for that. If I was still playing I would have given myself a stroke for that. He is a cheat, with all he has, he is still a cheat. Like he is trying to get caught.

I'm not a golfer but reading the rules they clearly say you can remove the obstruction and if the ball moves it must be replaced no penalty.

What am I missing?

Thats just it. He didn't move the ball back into the original position and he wasn't giving himself even one stroke. If he gave himslf a stroke, and didn't move the ball back, no debate. He didn't so the officials gave him two stroke. One for not giving himself a stroke and the other is punishment, so to speak.
