LA ROMANA, Dominican Republic — Two weeks ago, the USGA said that it was "at the beginning of the fact-finding stage" in determining whether or not Lucy Li violated amateur status with her appearance in an Apple ad campaign, and that it was "premature at this point to discuss more."
Two weeks later, the USGA remains in that same fact-finding mode.
Seated next to Augusta National's Fred Ridley and the R&A's Martin Slumbers on Thursday at the Latin America Amateur Championship, USGA CEO Mike Davis was asked for an update in the investigation and for a timeline on a potential decision, particularly with the inaugural Augusta National Women's Amateur coming up in April.
