I'm not a big Wie fan but IMO this ruling is absolutely ridiculous.

From the article:

"Wie said that after she finished her round on Friday, she left the tent where players sign their scorecards and was chased down by some of the tournament volunteers working in the tent who pointed out she hadn't signed.

Wie returned to the tent and signed the card.

"I thought it would be OK," she said.

But Wie, according to Witters, had already walked outside the roped-off area around the tent. At that point, the mistake was final."

That's crap. It's not like she waited an extra day. You're telling me that if she had not left the ropes she wouldn't be DQ'd? Is that the spirit of the rule?

I love golf but some of its rules are just incredibly stupid.
