Blatant cheat in that every golfer I have heard today said they knew that rule and that everyone on your would/should know that rule. It wasn't a tiny leaf moving or a dirt pile considered one of 300 traps. It was a play made that every guy has said was clearly breaking the rules.
And I will defer to the experts who say it is a big advantage not minuscule which is why he did it.
