Chamblee's position was that, in his view, what makes golf unique/special (and I think he may have sniffed & thrown his nose into the air when he said it, but don't hold me to that
) is that golf holds itself to a higher standard than other sports about rules infractions and self-policing. So, for him, the only thing that mattered was that an infraction did, in fact, occur (and I don't think anyone disputes this); the infraction was identified; and the infraction was penalized. The process of how and when the infraction was identified, and how and when the penalties were communicated, did not appear to trouble him in the slightest. If I'm recalling correctly, he said he would be okay pulling someone off the course on Saturday if that player's infraction on Thursday was later identified & it meant (once the penalty was assessed) that the player ended up actually missing the cut, rather than making the cut.
Frank Nobilo, David Duval and Rich Lerner all expressed concerns about the process (the possibility that some Lexi-hater at home decides to call-in the infraction, but may have been less inclined to do so than if Lydia Ko had done the same thing because, well, he cheers for Lydia Ko) and the timing (if the end of a day's action isn't "final," why is the end of a four-day "final"?). Chamblee, in contrast, appeared to be having none of it.
