Do you guys understand that just to hold the quiet signs for four days at minimum wage would cost $115,000. This is just one small needless entity. We can get this back, at what cost? A few free rounds.

Did the LPGA come up with some reason for not disqualifying her?

Imagine the next time you're out playing and the ball finishes on the lip and you go ahead and mark the ball and replace it incorrectly, I don't think you'd get a good reaction from your playing partners.

Or also imagine winning a tournament and having an asterisk alongside your name because you breached a rule which was spotted but not enforced.

Why do the professional tours acknowledge the USGA...just take their rules and use them as a base...there is no reason they could not immediately begin to use the rules that will be in lace in 2019.  All these things do is give the USGA credibility for no reason...

I am against playing from the wrong place. It's quite clear she put the ball back in the wrong place. Very careless from her.

That is her playing participates lack of paying attention fault.  U are for a police state, I get it.  Playing participates have to police their own groups.  Its that simple.  Let have people call in from majors 5 years ago. I have rules infractions from the Masters.  Audit those players.

How would those same playing partners react if a day later someone called them to tell them they were stupid for not noticing it had been inadvertantly placed in a slightly different place-which is what just happened.



Allowing someone NOT part of the game to influence the game is utter nonsense.

Lexi was amazing.  Playing thatbweel with all that emotion is pretty impressive.


She did replace the ball horribly.
Don't like call in penalties at all, but that was carelessly off by a mile.


Crap finish, was hoping she'd get it done in the PO

Apparently the rule has been changed from DQ to a 2 stoke penalty within the past year or so.  That's per the TV commentators.  I haven't looked it up and am not going to.

When the tournament result is announced the result is final. If a player throws a ball out from behind a tree and their playing partners don't see it but it is seen on tv, should that be ignored?

When I was 18 years old I called one of the boys in our large group of guys. He would mark the ball then place it inch ahead of mark. No one in the group had any balls except i. I said u mark it again it's good.  All the guys still tell my rents the story 15 years later.  Where was her playing partners?  Score cards signed, what's the point of signing cards?

It's similar to other sports where there is a missed call that isn't spotted until after the game, but the team still wins. If the rule breach is spotted in the moment, then it should of course be enforced.. I just don't think there is a need to enforce it if it is after the round has been completed

So you're ok with breaches of the rules so long as they are not spotted?

Well, maybe they should replay the playoff if they want to be sticklers for the rules. The official gave Ryu the option of drawing the order on the playoff hole by saying that she got to draw due to her having the lowest score of the day. Ooops I guess it's too late for an email  ::)

even if she placed the ball off just a little it id not change the outcome and if it was not called at that time then be done with it...BUT even if you give her 2 strokes there....and you decide today to penalize her then don't penalize for an incorrect scorecard....
I wonder if she were a Democrat instead of a Republican if this would have been called in?
