Lexi Thompson Gets Screwed in LPGA's First Major
I'm still so livid about this it's not even funny. So much I want to say but I can't focus my rage enough to put it down. Long story short, Lexi was leading on Sunday, some jag emailed the LPGA that they saw her replace her ball on its mark wrong on Saturday, they assessed her a four stroke penalty in the middle of her round on Sunday and she went on to lose the tournament in a playoff. I'm SO sick of armchair officials in golf. I hope someone punches that person who sent the email right in the stomach. Here's a couple articles from Golf Channel if you want to read more here and here.
