If the call had been made at the time, you could argue it was the proper call, even though it was completely inconsequential and had no effect on anything. It was a ****ing tap-in.
But the LPGA waited until 24 hours later and THEN they penalized her because some douchebag television viewer sent a ****ing email to the LPGA to bitch about it. And on top of that they penalized her ANOTHER two strokes for signing a scorecard that was 100% correct when she signed it. THAT is where this situation became the ultimate cluster****.
She beat the field by 4 strokes in a major tournament and had the tournament stolen from her. The douchebag who sent the email undoubtedly shot a load in his pants over this. It's the highlight of his miserable life. Hopefully he will get AIDS and die.
The PGA and the LPGA should just state flat out that they won't respond to rules infractions "detected" by television viewers. That would solve this problem immediately.
