Thomas: 'Bizarre' Lexi ruling needs to change

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Masters participants had plenty to say about the four-stroke penalty that Lexi Thompson received Sunday at the ANA Inspiration, costing her another major title.

Many players took exception with an outside agency being allowed to affect the outcome of the event. Justin Thomas was one of the most vocal on social media, tweeting: “Whatever number this is that people can call in, it needs to go away.”

Thomas elaborated in his news conference at Augusta National.

“First off, I don’t know where this number or email is found,” he said.
