  Rancho Mirage Location in the United States  Rancho Mirage Location in California The 2017 ANA Inspiration was a professional women's golf tournament played March 30 – April 2 at the Dinah Shore Tournament Course at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California. It was the 46th edition of the tournament, and its 35th as one of the Women's majors. Ryu So-yeon sank a birdie putt on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff to win her second major title.[2] Ryu and Lexi Thompson ended the final round tied for the lead at 274 (−14).

Second roundFriday, March 31, 2017
Third roundSaturday, April 1, 2017 With six holes remaining in the final round on Sunday, Thompson was notified by officials that she had been retroactively issued two penalties on her third round score.[2] The first was a two-stroke penalty for incorrectly placing a marked ball on the 17th green, and the second for subsequently signing an incorrect scorecard, also two strokes, raising her 54-hole score from 203 (−13) to 207 (−9).[2] The review was prompted by a report from a television viewer via the LPGA website on Sunday. The ruling was widely criticized for having allowed the outcome of the major championship to be affected by a "called-in" infraction, and the infraction itself being having moved the ball less than an inch away from the mark.[3][5][6] Several weeks later on April 25, the USGA and The R&A issued Decision 34-3/10, which was effective immediately. It limits the use of video evidence if the infraction "can't be seen with the naked eye", or the player had done "all that can be reasonably expected to make an accurate estimation or measurement" in order to correctly play or spot their ball, even if video evidence suggests otherwise. Although the sanctioning bodies stated that this was part of an effort to update and modernize the Rules of Golf, media outlets considered the ruling to be a response to this incident (as well as a separate incident from the U.S. Women's Open in 2016), going as far as nicknaming it the "Lexi Thompson rule."[7][8][9]
Final roundSunday, April 2, 2017 After a bogey at the 12th hole to fall to 16-under, Thompson was notified by officials of the four-stroke penalty as she walked to the 13th tee; this lowered her score to 12-under, two strokes behind Lee. Both Thompson and Ryu birdied the final hole to finish at the top of the leaderboard at 274 (−14).[2]
