Michelle Wie was disqualified from the LPGA State Farm Classic due to an infraction in signing her scorecard for the second round on Friday.

GOLF 2008 Wie - 0

Wie had just carded a third round of 67 that left her a shot off the lead when she was notified of the error.

"It's really unfortunate. I don't know what happened ... but I forgot to sign the scorecard," Wie said.

"I left the tent area and a couple of the scorers went after me and I signed and turned it in. I thought it would be OK."

Her infraction came when she left the defined scoring area before signing her card, a violation of the USGA rule.

The incident marks the second time Wie has been disqualified for a rules infraction as a professional. She was disqualified for taking an improper drop at the 2005 Samsung World Championship, her first tournament as a pro.
