LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. As Nasa Hataoka finished up regulation play at the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions, Twitter was aflutter about the way she marked her ball on the 11th hole.

A viewer had taped part of what transpired on the green at Tranquilo Golf Course and questioned whether or not the 21-year-old had replaced the ball on the wrong side of the coin.

The LPGA confirmed there was no breach, saying that the rules official watching the telecast saw no violation. In fact, the fans video cut off part of Hataokas routine, in which she moves the ball from in front of the coin to behind the coin and then back to in front of the coin.
