I just think that if you have an official event, rules need to be followed.
Just for clarity, the committee doesn't even have the right to waive a rule of golf. So they have broken the rules by allowing Max to get away with his mistake. What a tangled web..... that could raise quite a stink the next time it happens and they don't give that player the same break... like poking a stick at a wasp nest.
