Interesting finish to the U.S. Women's Open yesterday. Anna Nordqvist was penalized for grounding her club in the bunker on the 2nd hold of a 3 hold playoff. But they didn't enforce the penalty until the middle of the third playoff hole after reviewing on tv replay.

I get that it was a penalty but really unfortunate on the timing of the enforcement. The world of HDTV has really become a factor in some of these rulings.  For just casual fans that might have been watching, I have to wonder if it turned off a lot of them with what may appear as one of golf's silly rules.

To top off the day, the USGA president kept calling Brittany Lang as Bethany Lang during the trophy presentation.
