Lexi Thompson almost pulled off one of the most dramatic victories in the history of golf on Sunday, overcoming a four-shot penalty, but So Yeon Ryu was too much for her to overcome in a playoff in the ANA Inspiration, the year's first LPGA major.
Ryu made a short birdie putt on the first playoff hole to win at Mission Hills Country Club.
Most of the drama, however, came long before the playoff.
Thompson was leading the tournament and had just completed the 12th hole when she was informed by a rules official that a TV viewer had asked officials to look at the video of Thompson marking her ball on the 17th hole on Saturday.
