Ännu en gång ställer domarna till det under en majortävling.
Under fjolåret fick Anna Nordqvist ett pliktslag under särspelet, och informationen långt efter. Samma sak hände för Dustin Johnson.
Under söndagsrundan av ANA Inspiration fick Lexi Thompson fyra (!) pliktslag för en händelse dagen innan – som uppmärksammades av en tittare.
På det 17:e hålet markerade hon bollen. När hon återplacerade bollen var det i en annan position.
Att spela bollen på fel plats gav två pliktslag. Att lämna in ett scorekort med felaktigt antal slag gav ytterligare två.
Det här kontroversiella domslutet fick många profiler att ta till sociala medier för att ventilera.
Här är några av kommentarerna:
Viewers at home should not be officials wearing stripes. Let's go @Lexi, win this thing anyway.

Whatever number this is that people can call in, it needs to go away. Hoping it doesn't cost @Lexi! https://t.co/wtKkU9pg2o

All-around, this blows. If there's any silver lining, @Lexi Thompson made millions of new fans today with her unprecedented grit and heart.

Come on @Lexi you can do it!!!!!
We really need to do something about people being able to call in. Especially days later . Poor girl— Brittany Lincicome (@Brittany1golf) 3 april 2017
Infuriated w @Lexi ruling. Who intentionally seeks an inch on a tap in. TV viewers need a day job or have no effect on our system.

Who's watching what is happening to @Lexi @LPGA? Can't believe this is happening. A viewers calls in a rule a day late or ever…. Not right

Feeling for Lexi…some things in sports just don't make sense. Unreal fortitude shown. Heart of a champion.

Definitely NOT right getting penalty because some viewer called in the day after it happened
— Byeong Hun An (@ByeongHunAn) 3 april 2017
but to me it looks like she moved her ball out of pitch mark.. I wonder why she marked it and replaced it

Are you kidding me @lpga!?! 24 hours later assessed a 4 stroke penalty?! Ridiculous. Come on @Lexi! Everyone is pulling for you now

Viewers should not be able to call in rulings.
