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.

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

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.
Mike Young, please watch the video. This was weird...If you think of a click face, and the ball is the center and the hole is 12:00...Who puts the coin down at 8:00 by accident?

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
