Q.
Rickie went to clean up a putt during the second round, but after establishing the line of play of another player, he made a stroke at his short tap-in and moved it ever so slightly that it looked like he missed the ball, does it count as a stroke or is it considered accidentally causing the ball to move on the putting green?
.
A.
Yes, Rickie had intention to hit the ball, in this case into the hole, and unfortunately hit the ball a small distance but not into the hole, but the stroke still counts.
