Viewer Called Tiger Woods Master's Violation, What's the Number?

In one of the most bizarre situations in Master's history at Augusta. Tiger Woods was penalized for an unofficial now official call made by a television viewer. Woods was assessed a two stroke penalty for a drop. According to Fox News "Woods' shot on the par-5 15th hole of the second round hit the flag stick and bounced back into the water. He took his penalty drop two yards behind where he hit the original shot, which was a rules violation.Augusta National reviewed the incident Saturday morning before the third round began and added the two-stroke penalty for an improper drop. Woods had a 73 instead of a 71 and went into the weekend five shots out of the lead" 

While the rules seem simple, there is some issue with how the penalty came down. First a television viewer sitting down eating peanuts and drinking beer at their favorite local pub called into the Masters to report the violation. Second after the initial review the committee exclaimed that no violation had occurred. Third violation was not accepted until Woods unaware of rule 26 indicted himself "I went back to where I played it from, but went two yards further back and I tried to take two yards off the shot of what I felt I hit," Woods said Friday after he signed for a 71, leaving him three shots out of the lead. "And that should land me short of the flag and not have it either hit the flag or skip over the back. I felt that was going to be the right decision to take off four (yards) right there. And I did. It worked out perfectly."

Where in the Masters rule book is it acceptable for non-participating spectators (sitting at a bar or couch ) to call in violations. Does this mean fans can now sit a home during a NBA basketball and call in offensive fouls every time LeBron James comes flying to basket. How about when Michael Jordan pushed off on Byron Russell to hit the game winning shot in the 1998 NBA Finals? Excuse me NFL I know Marshawn Lynch broke 10 tackles but when he lowered his shoulders to take the list hit the crown of the helmet was sticking out? If so where's the phone number? 

Deandre Jordan stare down and step over after annihilating Brandon Knight was definitely taunting.  Sounds silly, but truth is no fan or television viewer without an official capacity should have the power to alert officials in this matter. If so what's the number?
