The change was that they can't be retrospectively disqualified, normally she would have been DQ'd for signing an incorrect scorecard but the change means she can take the penalty and have her score adjusted, same with the Tiger furore over his drop at the Masters last year. Strange that she just withdrew, unless she did it for her stats or something seeing as though she would miss the cut anyway.

Only if it's something that they wouldn't/couldn't have been aware of, such as the ball moving a minute amount.

Younger poster probably aren't aware of the infamous David Robertson. He brought cheating to a whole new level. There is also a chapter devoted to him in Laurence Donegan's book "Four Iron in the Soul".

Shocking that the co commentator defend her, unreal

I haven't seen any coverage of this apart from the above. It seems like its the LPGA aren't dealing with it or are keeping it behind closed doors. To me it compares to the Dyson incident (albeit more blatant and she isn't admitting to it) but is not getting anything like the same media coverage.

I hope we'll hear something about a ban very soon.

That is interesting actually, I only do it when im out for a few casual holes but id use the line on the putter as the marker if i was just picking up the ball to clean it and a quick realignment. Is this actually allowed or would it have to be a marker, lighter, set of keys etc..?

What she done was absolutely blatant, shes after digging a hole for herself now.

The requirement is for the ball to be marked so it can be returned the same spot (within reason). Thats it.
You could mark it with your uncle's prosthectic leg or a dead frog if you wanted to.

That's fine but i don't drop my putter i'm still holding it in my hand, would that be allowed in "proper golf"

Its fine, but if you do drop your putter, fall over etc then uh-oh spaghettio, your ball isnt marked = penalty.
