Juli Inkster Disqualified After TV Viewer Reports Violation

Filed under: LPGAA fan watching the LPGA's Safeway Classic on television Saturday helped to deny Juli Inkster a chance to become the oldest player in the history of the women's tour to win a tournament.

Inkster, a Hall of Famer, was disqualified for using a weighted device to warm up on the Ghost Creek Course in North Plains, Ore.

Inkster, 50, was three shots behind the leader (8-under after the first two rounds) when the incident occurred. She used the weighted "doughnut" while waiting at the tee at the 10th hole.

According to The Oregonian, she had given an interview to the Golf Channel at the tee, then put the doughnut on her 9-iron to loosen up. The Golf Channel then telecast footage of her practice swings, prompting a viewer to email tournament officials, who alerted the LPGA rules staff. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
