7PM:

KARRIE Webb has been disqualified from the Australian Ladies Masters after signing an incorrect card.

Webb signed for a score of one-over par 74, when she had in fact made a two-over par 75.

Webb made consecutive bogeys at the 12th and 13th holes at Royal Pines but she signed for a par at the 12th.

Korean Chella Choi, who was marking Webb's score, incorrectly recorded a five for the 12th hole when Webb had actually made a bogey six.

Webb signed the card but reported herself to officials soon after, realising the mistake.

Ladies European Tour tournament director Fraser Munro said Webb had reported herself as soon as she was aware of the error.

"I think she came in, looked at a monitor of the scoreboard and saw that she was up as +2 but had always thought that she was +3, so brought it to our attention in case there had been some mistake,'' Munro said.

"As soon as we established she had the five on her card, she was obviously upset. She's the defending champion, she's now not going to be able to go on and defend, she's capable of having low scores at this course and she'll be very disappointed.''

Webb has taken to Twitter to express her disappointment.

"To all the sponsors and fans of the Volvik Australian Ladies Masters, I (am) sorry 4 letting u all down,'' Webb wrote.

Munro said Choi should not shoulder any of the blame, with the onus on players to make sure their cards were correct.

"She's not checked her scorecard properly,'' he said.

"She needs to verify all of her 18 hole scores, that's her duty when she goes out and signs for those 18 hole scores.

"It needs to be clear this is not the marker's fault, the player, as Karrie knows being a seasoned pro, it's the player's responsibility to make sure that they vouch for the correct score before they leave the cordon area.

"She's fully aware of that and obviously very, very disappointed because it's resulted in her disqualification.''

Cheyenne Woods and Stacy Lee Bregman lead the tournament on 10 under-par after shooting six-under rounds of 67 yesterday.

5.45PM: KARRIE Webb has been disqualified from the Australian Ladies Masters golf after signing an incorrect card.

Webb signed for a score of one-over par 74, when she had in fact made a two-over par 75.

Live scoring had Webb making consecutive bogeys at the 12th and 13th holes at Royal Pines but she signed for a par at the 12th.

Webb was seen in deep discussions with tournament officials shortly after visiting the scorer's hut.

Webb was in danger of missing the cut but seemed to have saved herself with a par on the 18th hole.

But she will now miss the weekend for the first time in 22 appearances at Royal Pines.
