Nope, they got it exactly right. The rule people wanted them to use to DQ him explicitly states that if any other rule covers the violation, it takes precedence. In this case, hitting a moving ball is the violation, not attempting to stop a ball in motion. The real travesty is the idiot announcing crew having their panties in a wad over the whole thing and saying Mickelson will have to rebuild his reputation or whatever. just over the top nonsense.
