AUGUSTA, GEORGIA - Masters stars on Monday pushed for banning television-review penalties like the one that cost Lexi Thompson the first women's major of the year on the weekend.
"There's no question it should be ended," eighth-ranked American Rickie Fowler said. "I don't think you could find one player who would say otherwise."
Thompson was hit with a four-stroke penalty with six holes remaining in Sunday's final round of the LPGA's ANA Inspiration for an infraction in Saturday's third round that was spotted by a TV viewer.
