Given that no one was excluded from advancing, this isn't that big of a deal.

That said, I think Whybark's pursuit of plaudits as a result of this action -- basically telling everyone that he was going to be a swell guy and do it -- mitigates about 90% of whatever good karma he might otherwise have earned if he had "flubbed" a putt and kept his mouth shut.

I'd be pretty pissed if I were Doran. He was denied the right to earn his spot -- despite playing well -- by some dope that thought he needed the charity. No one is asking him how great it feels to win the tournament and make nationals; everyone is asking about how he feels that the other guy threw the match. That would suck.
