During the regular 4 rounds of a tournament each player does not have an official in their group. An official is called in by the walking scorers when needed. I did not say anyone was cheating. Nordqvist did not see her infraction as the small grain of sand that moved was unseen by her but picked up by a zooming TV camera. If a similar infraction happened to a different player, on a different hole, that the camera operator did not record, the infraction would have gone unreported and the player would not have been penalized. Infractions happen that players do not intend or realize it happened. You should not penalize one player because it was caught on camera, while another escapes a penalty because their infraction, unnoticed by the player, was not on camera. Are we to let fans call infractions into an NFL Game, that the officials missed, thus reviewing something that may have happened in the first quarter, then penalizing or take points off in the 4th Qr.?
