That's exactly what we were discussing. Would the official tell him right then or will they DQ him after he signs the scorecard, or something like that?
Also, it seemed like he got a "Total Relief" from the stand and not just a drop from the garbage can.
I don't think the ref checked the ball to see if it was damaged either.
if he literally picked the ball from the trash can and gave it away without showing his competitors or an official and then played a shot, hes in big time trouble

maybe it was just off camera and he did that?
Maybe the ref said he could switch balls before he asked if he could take it out, which was the first question I heard.
