"They (LPGA officials) said it was three inches ahead but it looked fine to me," she said, battling back tears.

"I am really sad but rules are rules and I respect them.

"Greg and I were talking when I took the drop and he said 'make sure you don't drop it nearer the hole' but I thought it looked fine to me.

"I'm very disappointed that my first (professional) event finished this way.

"It was a day later and really it was all guess work (trying to remember where the ball was dropped).

However, Smith said that the ball had been dropped on a patch of grass and it would have needed to be in the desert sand not to be closer to the hole.
