Bad break but can't help but think she has done it many many times before without it being caught on video. She brings her club so close to the sand it has to be a regular occurrence for her.

That was so crazy though. You needed HD close-up and super slo-mo to see it. Some of these rulings that only occur when bought to attention by replays - a leaf wiggled during a back swing, a grain of sand moved - none of those had any impact on the shot being played. I understand zero tolerance but that really is too far, imho.
