A golfer competing in the Women’s British Open at St. Andrews was disqualified from the tournament on Friday due to her caddie using a distance-measuring device on two holes at the Old Course. Ana Pelaez Trivino, a 190th-ranked Spanish player participating in her first year on the LPGA Tour, was informed of the penalty following her second round. Her caddie utilized the device on the 10th and 18th holes. Trivino had shot a 2-over 74 after an opening round of 72 and was in contention to make the cut.

Event organizers clarified that the use of distance-measuring devices was not permitted at the championship. This ruling led to Trivino’s disqualification from the Women’s British Open. Trivino’s disqualification highlighted the importance of adhering to the rules and regulations set forth by tournament organizers.
