It's only one penalty stoke due to the fact that the ball was not moving when he hit it with his putter. Had the ball still been in motion the two strokes would have been added. In this case the ball will be replaced just next to the hole under the penalty of one stroke.
Good call Zinger. Very funny. BTW, the ruling would be the player would incur a one stroke penalty for moving a ball at rest with his equipment. (Rule 18-2) You can see in the video that the ball came to a stop and then was moved by his equipment. He would then have to replace the ball in it's original spot.
yea gotta love them commentators for givin us the heads up on this sweet vid lol
i think it would be 1 stroke for hittin the ball with his putter, then another stroke for hittin the ball with himself (or 2 i cant member), then another stroke for placin the ball back where it was before he hit it by accident..so it should at least be a 3 stroke penalty shouldnt it?
I think it is only a one stroke penalty. He hit the ball unintentionally and would replace it with a one stroke penalty. He really got more mileage in one stroke than any I've seen.
Yup, I came because of the Open. Wow...he had to add a stroke because of the putter hitting the ball, then 2 more strokes because the ball hit his elbow. Ouch.
The commentators at the 2007 British Open just referred to this clip, directing viewers to check it out on YouTube. I bet it's being heavily requested about now. :)
This is what u call a stroke of genius...

Putter: Stroke + the stroke he 'played'
Body: 2 shots + another 'played' stroke
I think.

Pgadonner you would also add a two stroke penalty for contact with his left arm as he swan dove on the green contacting the ball with his left arm.

HE counts the putter hitting the ball as one and the ball hitting his arm as a two shop penalty. I call is lying the intentional putt +3 shots.
