No. He played the provisional ball and took his one-stroke "lost ball" penalty and played on.


But that's not the point anyway. The point is that, essentially, this poor slob got DQ'd because the cheese-eater that dimed him to the rules guy claimed that he didn't "announce" that he was hitting a provisional ball, which I personally think is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of.
