Anybody see Lexi Thompson get totally screwed by the LPGA today?
 
I was watching this on live TV a few minutes ago. This is bullshit. They've got to change this bullshit rule.


Quote:
Leader Lexi Thompson hit with 4-stroke penalty a day later at ANA Inspiration

Cameras were rolling as then-leader Lexi Thompson was informed by a rules official that she be assessed a 4-stroke penalty Sunday during the final round of the LPGA Tour’s ANA Inspiration.

A television viewer watching a delayed version of Saturday’s third round alerted tournament officials that Thompson had placed her ball in a different spot than where she marked it before putting on the No. 17 green. That led to a retrospective 2-stroke penalty in addition to a 2-stroke penalty for signing for the wrong score after the third round.

Thompson held a 2-shot lead at 16 under when she was informed of the penalty from a day earlier while walking to the No. 14 green and suddenly trailed by two at 12 under.

She still has a chance to win the tournament despite this bullshit. She birdied the next hole (even though she was fighting back tears) and Suzanne Peterson bogied it. So in about 5 minutes she went from leading by 2, to trailing by 2, to tied for the lead.

I blame Trump

Sounds like BS, but I want to know more about the placement. How far off was it and how did it happen? I mean, you mark your spot, you place the ball back on that spot. How can you mess that up?

Does she have big thingies?

If anyone is wondering, there are some very good reasons to watch the LPGA.

When she marked the ball, you couldn't see the coin she marked it with. When she replaced it, you could barely see it, but you could see it.

The video can be seen here.

It's bullshit because if she's going to be penalized for something a TV watcher saw on super slow motion but nobody else detected, she should have been penalized during the round. She got penalized an extra two strokes because she signed a scorecard that was incorrect after the two stroke penalty was assessed the following day. A four-stroke penalty is ridiculous.

So, a television viewer dropped a dime on her? And a day later???

Doesn't seem right to me.

I agree completely. I mean, if you are assessing penalties after the fact because a viewer saw it, then the NFL would be taking away TDs because linemen were holding. That's basically the same thing. And you certainly shouldn't be penalized for signing a scorecard that was correct when she signed it.

If they did that for football every chiefs fan would call about hali and justin houston being held.

She lost.

I'm not even sure if it was in a different spot, but what a douche bag that emailed them about it. Seriously that person lives a sad life.
