A television viewer's email had alerted officials to a day-old rules violation by Thompson for a one-inch ball placement error . But So Yeon Ryu managed to take advantage of the break created by Thompson's extraordinary penalty. The ruling cost her more than a strong chance at her second major title: Ryu won $405,000 US with the victory, and Thompson went home with just over $250,000 in second place. "I just cannot believe the situation," Ryu said. So Yeon Ryu, left, holds the trophy with ANA CEO Shinya Katanozaka after a controversial finish at the ANA Inspiration LPGA tournament.
