Monty's boo boo at Indonesian Open

Got the gist of what happened, but what exactly is everyone so in an uproar about?
Was it intentional? Is it really cheating?

"When play was suspended by lightning on Fri during the tournament, Montgomerie's ball was in a poor lie on the edge of a fairway bunker on the 14th hole. He failed to mark his ball and when he returned the next day it was missing, so he placed another as close as he could to the original spot. Some witnesses complained, but Indonesian Open officials investigated and cleared Monty of any wrongdoing. But after reviewing tapes of the incident two weeks ago, Monty donated his winnings to charity."

Last week, he had to meet w/the European Tour's tournament committee to explain it all again and they came away "dissatisfied".

What am I missing?
