The original divot was clear to see. He dropped behind that, but apparently not close enough to the original spot. He mentioned something about "line of flight" which is a different rule.
I think they cut him some slack because the intent of the rule is to avoid someone gaining an advantage by improving their lie or stance or both. That wasn't the case where he was hitting.
The rule is vague, too. It says "as near as possible to the original spot." What does that mean? One foot, one yard, in the original divot?
