Ciganda on 18th today

[mesquite2]

Ciganda was in the right rough in the afternoon match, could not see the ball. During her setup, she thumped her club behind the ball 2 or 3 times, didn't place the club, let it fall hard. When she did swing, I could see a part of the ball I didn't see until then, anybody else catch this?

I had fallen asleep by then - this was a real opportunity to showcase womens golf and BDC would have played 27 holes in the time the afternoon matches took to play 18.

Every pro on every tour in every tournament does it every time they're in the rough.

Sounds like there should be a lot of pros on a lot of tours being penalized.

I agree, but it really is a shame when these guys and gals with all their talent do things that most 15 cappers don't do because they know it is against the rules.

It was not that dramatic, unless something happened before the TV-coverage was there. Below the pictures of before stance and during backswing.

Not as bad a her pathetic cop out by putting. Those run off areas are perfect for nipping a square faced wedge off the surface.

Huh? You mean she decided to go with the safe / smart play ?
