Come on people...WAKE UP...if you think the background of the caller is immaterial...get your head out of the sand. There would be a HUGE firestorm if indeed the caller is Korean. Whan's hose isn't large enough to put out that fire. With all the backlash against the Koreans on the LPGA...likely all the 8 events sponsored by Korean based companies will early terminate their sponsorships and it will be so uncomfortable for the Koreans to play on the LPGA...they'll all quit and head home for the KLPGA. I said it's immaterial based on the rules, which is true. OF COURSE, if it turned out the caller had some vested interest in the outcome, there would be a lot of hay made about that. It would be pure nonsense, of course, but that wouldn't stop them from trying to make a big deal out of it.

1) I re-read the article and got something wrong -- the spokesman for Thompson was an agent, not a lawyer. My mistake! But the argument still stands: this guy is clearly speaking for her, so I'm assuming anything he says matches her opinion until I hear otherwise. 2) Just one more thing. The penalty was assessed when Thompson was on the 12th hole, but it was called in over an hour before that. At that point, Thompson I think had only a one shot lead over Pettersen, with Inbee and So Yeon Ryu in hot pursuit. It was certainly not a done deal that Thompson would continue to lead at that point -- so why call in? Wouldn't a Thompson hater think that maybe she would naturally fall away and the seven time Major winner chasing her would assert control? Gad, trying to make sense of this foolishness is too hard, even as a joke! 1) Bobby K of Blue Giraffe not only owns BG...but is also a lawyer too....Lexi is his star pupil. www.bluegiraffesports.com/about/meet-the-team2) Lexi was at -16 after 12....a 2 shot lead over Tutta & Minjee, and SYR @ -13 and Winbee at -12 at the time. The Korean author of the email needed all the help they could get...so he/she started typing the email. The LPGA was informed when Lexi was on the 7th hole, not the 12th.

And it will be called the "Chella Change" I'm sure.

You don't go changing rules on account of some bizarre isolated incident. You ought to wait until it happens twice at least. This was a perfect storm though I suppose. Same thing happens to any other player and it wouldn't be nearly as big.

This story didn't tell me a thing. There's a big change coming, but they don't know what it is.

With the golf channel monitors, why didn't they notice the infraction. They may have but chose to not report it. However: They just jumped right on the Anna infraction. Just saying.

I know Lexi wasn't on the 12th when the LPGA officials received the email of Lexi CHEATING.....ya the LPGA might have got the email on the 7th hole and then I think Sue Witters and other officials reviewed it when Lexi was on her 9th hole. I guess it took the officials 2 holes to verify that the email came from SOUTH KOREA. So on the 7th or 9th hole....I think Lexi had a 2 stroke lead over Tutta....with Minjee & Winbee 3 back and SYR 4 back.

As a resident expert.....I'm guessing tomorrow the USGA and R&A will announce..... effective IMMEDIATELY....the 2 stroke penalty for signing an incorrect scorecard based on viewer call-ins and emails will no longer be imposed. But the Lexi & Chella cheating 2 stroke penalty will always be enforced.

Just saying. ...and what's stopping the technicians in the production trailer from using a bit of digital editing to manufacture a rules violation? I suspect that's what may have happened at CordeVale, as Fake (formerly Fox) Sports was so desperate to have an American win the USWO that the same hi-def camera operator that was zeroing in on Anna's bunker shot could have digitally inserted a few extra grains of sand that the Swede just so happened to "touch" with her club face.

Kevin You might be right. You might also be the only person to consider the possibility in the world. But I heard a former mob guy on the radio last night. It's amazing how creative people can be.
