LPGA rookie disqualified from 2024 AIG Women's British Open at St. Andrews

LPGA rookie Ana Pelaez Trivino was disqualified from the AIG Women’s British Open on Friday after her caddie used a distance-measuring device on both the 10th and 18th holes.

The use of a distance measuring device is prohibited at the championship under model local rule G5. The penalty was applied under Rule 4.3.

The 26-year-old Spaniard, who played collegiate golf at the University of South Carolina and won in her pro debut on the Ladies European Tour in the Madrid Ladies Open, shot 72-74 in the first two rounds and was in position to make the cut.

Currently ranked 190th in the world, Pelaez Trivino hadn’t made a cut in a major this season.
