Talk:Jane Blalock

request for review

I'm planning on reworking the 1972 section some, but wanted to ask for feedback first. I trimmed some things in an effort to keep it down to brass tacks and to meet WP:CRIT's NPOV bio recommendations, but on most points wouldn't mind details being added back in. I also tried to keep the summary based on one source, to avoid WP:OVERCITE:

Diaz, Jamie (January 29, 2011). "Fame or Shame? LPGA must decide on Blalock". Sports Illustrated.

In May 1972, she won the Suzuki Golf International Tournament in Pasadena, California, besting Kathy Whitworth. Shortly afterwards Blalock was disqualified from the Bluegrass Invitational for allegedly placing a ball incorrectly, and then failing to mark a two stroke penalty on her scorecard. Within a month, the LPGA Tour would move to suspend Blalock. In response, she filed an anti-trust lawsuit against the LPGA, obtaining an order to allow her to continue playing until the lawsuit had run its course. The rules violation conflict would continue until 1975, when after losing several appeals and being ordered to pay damages to Blalock, the LPGA agreed to settle. Despite the ongoing lawsuit, in 1972 Blalock went on to win the Dallas Civitan Open and the Lady Errol Classic. Blalock came in second at the 1972 LPGA Championship.

Hi - still up for feedback and tweaking, but no-one's brought a big problem yet, so will work into the content. I won't be too picky if someone wants to alter, though I will be stubborn about removing the "alleged cheating" subheading, in an effort to align with the Wikipedia:Criticism#Avoid_sections_and_articles_focusing_on_criticisms_or_controversies guideline, which reads "sections within an article dedicated to negative criticisms are normally also discourage."
