Justin Rose docked 2 shots when TV shows ball moved a fraction at Players

U.S. Open champion Justin Rose was penalized two shots on the 18th hole Saturday in The Players Championship when his ball moved ever so slightly as he prepared to hit a chip shot.

Rose went from a 71 to a 73, dropping him seven shots behind Martin Kaymer and Jordan Spieth going into the final round.

He saw something when he grounded his sand wedge behind the ball, quickly backing away. But the grass is uneven, and Rose didn't think it moved. He watched replay on the video board and officials were convinced it did not move. Only a closer look revealed it moved a fraction of an inch.

Rose received one shot for causing the ball to move at address (Rule 18-2b) and another for not replacing it.
