It was not a caddy for one of the pros. It was Sarah Cho, a college player during the NCAA Women's Championship.

Every player in the field is informed of the transportation policy – a player “must not ride on any form of transportation during a stipulated round unless authorized” – which is in effect all season.

If the NCAA didn't penalize her it would hav been unfair to the rest of the field. A governing body cannot decide which rules they are going to enforce and which they are not.

Another player in the group, Kelly Nielsen of Kent State, also was slapped with a two-shot penalty for the same infraction, but her score of 81 was dropped in the play-five, count-four format.
