Just for fun...I'm going to argue this.
They claimed that the tower was in his way...and immovable. OK, fine. Except they moved him two club lengths away...to where the tower was...still in the way. And what did he do? Hit a shot right above the tower that was "in his way". His ball was in a terrible lie, deep in the rough...and there was no way he could hit it over the tower. So they let him move it to the left so he had a clean lie and could easily hit it over the tower? Why didn't they move it to the right so it was still in the terrible rough, but out of the way of the tower? And besides...it wasn't like the tower was in the middle of the fairway. He hit an awful shot and got a mulligan. If you were to pull that $h*t playing for 10 bucks a hole at your local public course, you'd have a fist fight on your hands.
Congrats to DJ though. Loved that he played great through that BS they tried to pull about his ball moving on the 5th.

I've hit balls off of cart paths before because taking relief by the rules would have fukked me. If his nearest point of relief for line of sight put him where it did, then hooray for him.
