Lexi Thompson had a two shot lead a few minutes ago. The officials had someone call in an hour or so ago and let them know that YESTERDAY Lexi replaced her ball on the green in the wrong spot.

That's a 2 shot penalty plus a 2 shot penalty for signing an incorrect scorecard.

Now she's 2 back.

Not that many people will care but it's crazy and seems like this stuff happens to someone every year.

I'd like to see a video on this to see exactly how egregious it was.

I've never been a fan of viewers calling in and reporting rules violations. Even so, I think it is ridiculous that they can retroactively apply both the original penalty AND the penalty for an incorrect scorecard.

It was a 1-foot putt that she got the penalty on.

That is ridiculous. To assess a golfer a four stroke penalty that far into her next round is absolutely ridiculous. Your approach in those two situations is completely different.

I'll try to find a link, but this type of thing happened in the 1960s on a British open. They said "don't worry about it"

It was in this book. LINK

I can't remember the players, but it pointed out several instances where things were not played "strictly" by the draconian rules.

I read last year the PGA & USGA gets swamped with calls during Majors. Almost all turn out to be nothing.

This is worse than DJ's problem last year. Hope she has the same finish he did.

You really would have to be such a tool to take the time finding the number and going through all that shite. You know that person was on the phone forever too.
