I disagree that "no one was put at any disadvantage." The entire field would've been at a disadvantage if Wie were allowed to continue playing after her disqualifying offense was confirmed. I do agree that the timing of her DQ was poorly handled but the LPGA got the end result right. Change the scoring rules, change the procedure, or even go as far as taking scoring completely out of the player's hands and make the tournament committee responsible for every scorecard. I don't care how its done or who does it. The only thing you have to keep in mind here is that Wie did not follow the current rules and procedures and she has no one to blame but herself.

Ahhhh...a voice of reason and logic. I like it!!
