This is definitely a black eye for the LPGA tour. How this could happen with an LPGA official in the scoring trailer is beyond me. I would think the official would check for 2 signatures when the card is turned in. I would like to know how she was allowed to play the entire 3rd round before being disqualified. Michelle was playing very well for the first time in a long while, I hope this doesn't become another major setback for her. comment by Les Hughes - Jul 21, 2008 12:38 PM [GMT] [ reply ] |
