**Hataoka Disqualified from ShopRite LPGA Classic**

Mone Inami won the ShopRite LPGA Classic on Sunday after Nasa Hataoka was disqualified from the tournament. Hataoka was assessed a two-stroke penalty for grounding her club in a bunker during the final round and was subsequently disqualified.

Hataoka, who was leading the tournament by one stroke at the time of the penalty, was distraught after being disqualified. She said she was not aware that she had grounded her club in the bunker and that she would have taken a penalty if she had known.

“I’m so disappointed,” Hataoka said. “I didn’t mean to do it. I just wanted to win so badly.”

Inami, who shot a final-round 68, is relieved to win the tournament.

In his latest show for Golf Channel, Chamblee insisted the PGA Tour is cracking down on poor conduct, and it includes slow play, which can incur a $5,000 fine. Damaging putting greens, whether leaving spike marks or carelessly replacing divots, can also lead to big bucks being deducted from a player’s hefty earnings.

Pro goes through 4 caddies in 10 holes at Canadian Open

Rory McIlroy’s Canadian Open campaign has taken a bizarre turn, with the four-time major winner going through four caddies in just 10 holes of the opening round.

McIlroy began the day with his regular caddie, Harry Diamond, but after just five holes, Diamond left the course due to illness. McIlroy then played three holes with his coach, Michael Bannon, before switching to a local amateur caddie for the final two holes.

The constant caddy changes appeared to affect McIlroy’s game, as he struggled to an opening-round 76. He is now tied for 145th place, 12 shots behind early leader Justin Thomas.

McIlroy said after the round that he was “frustrated” by the situation, but he was hopeful that he could turn things around in the remaining three rounds.

Another week, another explosive golf story. While it’s consumed much of the recent airtime in the insular world of professional golf, a less publicized but mostly positive evolution continues quietly in the background that could play a pivotal role in the future of the sport.

It suggests that the 26-year-old is entering the prime of his career and could dominate the sport for years to come.

However, a recent incident involving Scheffler has once again highlighted the need for the PGA Tour to find new ways to generate excitement. The tour has been struggling to keep up with the popularity of other sports, and Scheffler’s scandal has only made matters worse.

The arresting officer in the Scottie Scheffler arrest case has been disciplined for failing to record the encounter with their body camera. The officer, who has not been named, has been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.
