Lydia Ko’s caddie hiked high up into a tree Thursday trying to retrieve her ball in an adventure at the 14th hole at the Volunteers of America North Texas Shootout.
A rules question quickly ensued over whether the LPGA correctly allowed Ko to take an unplayable after her caddie, Jason Hamilton, was not able to identify the ball.
It was that kind of day for the Rolex world No. 1.
After a rough start shooting 4-over-par 75, Ko needs to do some work Friday to avoid missing a cut for the first time in an LPGA event.
