Would they take this risk?
I doubt it.
The R&A have a Rules Official with every Match at The Open so it would be easy to add a Local Rule "At any other time, except during the act of addressing the ball, if the ball is seen to be moved by the wind and not by the action of a player, no penalty will be incurred".

but they didn't. and it wouldn't be easy. local rules must conform to the specimen lrs. there is no such specimen.
the remedy is to suspend play which they have done before
