4 stroke penalty a full day after the infraction. Lexi Thompson just got screwed.

Yep, total bullshite, hope she can regroup

It's pretty rediculous. You have rules officials everywhere along with your competitors watching. If they don't see an infraction then it's null.

My thread was a little late. I assumed I was the only one here watching
This stuff drives me crazy.

you gotta put some kinda time frame on this kinda crap. They shouldn't be able to give her a penalty after she starts her next round

It's slow sports day lol. I was fixing to switch over the the Cubs game. Now I'm pulling like hell for Lexi

I agree. Imposing a 4 stroke penalty 24 hours after the fact & in the middle of the back 9 in the final round is beyond total bullshite.
Her competitor/marker didn't say anything. Neither should the LPGA.
Pityful.

This.
I don't have an issue w/ violations being reported by someone else on site for the most part (I am not a big fan of people being able to do that shite after seeing it on TV though), just because the entire sport is supposed to rely on players policing themselves for the most part.

She's made 2 birdies since she was notified. I hope she birdies the last 3 holes.

What happened? What was the penalty?
Posted on 4/2/17 at 10:16 pm to slawman
Just read about this and it's awful. Of course she actually moved the ball but its ridiculous that her score is changed a day later and in the middle of the round.
What makes this unfair is that there isn't a camera on every other player at the same time, so the situations aren't the same for all golfers. The USGA/PGA/LPGA need to set a blanket rule that that the penalty can only be assessed during that hole. There are enough rules officials tagging along to make sure the round is adequately judged. What happened today coupled with what happened during the US Open last year is silliness.

4 stroke penalty. 2 for incorrect ball placement after marking and 2 for signing for incorrect score.

What do you think about that ruling Johnny Miller?!
