LPGA rookie Ana Pelaez Trivino was disqualified from the AIG Women’s British Open on Friday after her caddie used a distance-measuring device on both the 10th and 18th holes.

The use of a distance measuring device is prohibited at the championship under model local rule G5. The penalty was applied under Rule 4.3.

The 26-year-old Spaniard, who played collegiate golf at the University of South Carolina and won in her pro debut on the Ladies European Tour in the Madrid Ladies Open, shot 72-74 in the first two rounds and was in position to make the cut.

Currently ranked 190th in the world, Pelaez Trivino hadn’t made a cut in a major this season.
