CNN —Spanish golf star Carlota Ciganda was disqualified from the Evian Championship on Friday after refusing to add a two-shot slow play penalty to her scorecard.
Yet after her appeal to rules officials was “heard and denied,” Ciganda did not add the two shot penalty and – having left the recording zone – was subsequently disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard, the LPGA spokesperson said.
“Ciganda was allowed an appeal with the advance and lead rules officials before returning her scorecard, which was heard and denied.
“Ciganda opted not to add the two-stroke penalty to her signed scorecard.
