Lauri Merten is not a snitch. I've always liked her.

Does this count? At the 2010 Sybase Match Play, Jimin Kang upchucked during her first round match against Morgan Pressel. A condensed rendition from the archives: Then I walked towards the 16th tee box and linked up with Pressel and Kang again. Morgan was two-down and hitting first (which means she must have been three-down earlier).
The 16th is a downhill par-3 of 155 yards with the pin in the very front right. Morgan dropped her shot within kick-in range. Jimin landed hers pin-high to the left, but the green steered the ball 90 degrees to the right, so both players made birdies and Jimin was dormie.
The 17th is a short par-4 of 324 yards. Morgan hit to within 4-5 feet, while Jimin overshot the flag. Jimin just missed making a long L-to-R breaker coming back, but Morgan made her birdie to cut her deficit to one hole.
The 18th is the cool par-5 of 515 yards. Jimin’s drive caught a down slope on the right side of the fairway, so she was much further ahead (at least 30 yds.) of Morgan than normal. But, it didn’t matter as both players would have to lay up to what looks like a huge grass island. Per her comments later, Morgan left herself in a great spot at 66 yards to a platform green. I’m guessing Jimin’s second shot left her no more than 50 yards away. Morgan’s third landed past the flag, but it spun back to makeable birdie range. Jimin’s third took off weakly and was lucky to reach the front edge of the green; it was good enough for a two-putt, but Morgan made a four to tie the match.
There was a delay at #1, as Na Yeon Choi (pronounced “Na Yoon Choi” by the starter) and Karine Icher had just teed off. During the wait, Morgan ate an apple and touched up her lip gloss, while Jimin went for a granola bar.
As for Morgan and Jimin, both made par (Morgan’s putt rattled in), so it was on to #2, a par-5 of 507 yards. Again, Morgan pulled the string on her third shot, leaving her 7-8 feet for birdie. Jimin had less yardage, but her shot cleared the flag on a lower trajectory. It stopped quickly, but who cares if you’re 20 feet from the hole? Jimin missed her birdie, Morgan made hers, and it was over.No. Pressel just went out and won it......Jimin didn't necessarily gag it. Jimin is like Xtina....puts on a big show when the cameras are on....not so much when there are no cameras.
