Plain and simple: If anyone is to blame here, it's Wie for not abiding by a rule that any weekend hacker knows. Brandenberg was just doing his job.

If you think that its a coincidence that he just happened to talk to officials minutes after she signed her scorecard, I've got a bridge to sell ya.
The truth is, he saw a potential for a big sexy story if Wie gets disqualified. However, unless he waits over a day to mention it, then no one cares. So this asshole decided he would wait untill Wie signed her scorecard before approaching tourney officials in the hopes of seeing her disqualified for a nice headline story.
I understand Wie should have been more careful, I get that. I have no problem with reporters asking the tough questions, thats their job. I even dont have a problem with him approaching tourney officials about this. However, when he sits on this untill right after she entered the clubhouse in the hopes of creating a story to write, that treads into the realm of the unethical.
