Wie rocked by late disqualification

A couple of hours after finishing fourth in her first professional tournament, 16-year-old Michelle Wie was sensationally disqualified from the Samsung World Championship at Bighorn in Palm Desert, California.

It was 40 minutes before play finished that a spectator told LPGA rules official Robert Smith that he thought Wie had dropped the ball nearer the hole when she had taken relief from an unplayable lie in a bush on the seventh hole of her third-round 71 on Saturday.
