LPGA gets taste of new rules starting at Diamond Resorts

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Stacy Lewis really likes one of the rule changes in effect this year.

She likes the ban on caddies aligning players for shots and putts.

The practice has always been more prevalent in LPGA than PGA Tour events, but you won’t see it in this week’s LPGA season opener, the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions, or any other events.

“No lining up is the greatest change in all the rules,” Lewis said.

Brittany Lincicome and her long-time caddie, Missy Pederson, are among tandems who will be getting used to new routines.
