Minjee Lee has broken her silence on the reason behind her disqualification from last week's Kingsmill Championship – but it's not what you might have suspected.
So was it technical? Was she upset? Did someone distract her?
"I think I just had a brain fart," Lee said with a grin today after her opening round at the Volvik Championship, five days after a top-10 finish went begging when she failed to sign her final round in Virginia.
"I mean I don’t know how I missed it, but obviously I did and I got DQ’d.
"But it’s OK, I can laugh about it now."
The West Australia began the Volvik still in sharp form, firing a four-under-par 68 in Michigan to sit tied ninth, three off the pace of Stacy Lewis and Wei-Ling Hsu.
But the best Australian score of the day belonged, again, to Queenslander Sarah Jane Smith, whose 67 left her in a share of fourth.
Victorian Su Oh fired a 70 to be handy, while Queenslander Katherine Kirk sits at even par.
Sarah Kemp, of New South Wales, and Queensland's Karrie Webb fired rounds of 74 and 75, respectively.
