"I know the Rules of Golf. What [Ahn] did was not right.
/Ryan Ballengee finds the mysteriously missing caddie for Shi Hyan Ahn. Tim Hegna tells a very different story than the one peddled by Ahn's agent and LPGA officials.
"I saw the ball and told [Ahn], 'This is a Titleist 6. It's the wrong ball. You should tell Chung.'"
Hegna said Ahn didn't acknowledge what Hegna said, though he had the expectation that she would and act on it. In fact, she said nothing at all on the green. The players finish out and go to the scoring tent. All three sign their cards neither Ahn nor Chung taking the penalty.
As they were heading back toward the clubhouse, Hegna says Ahn told him, "Be here at 6:40 tomorrow and don't say anything to anyone."
Hegna went to the hotel and had his dinner, adding, "I didn't know how to handle [what just happened] at the time." When he got back to his room, his roommates told him that he and his player had been disqualified. Hegna said he was pleased to hear the news, but said he does not know who turned them into the LPGA scoring officials. After parting from his player, he does not know if Ahn told Chung.
