Child-prodigy Li warned for breaching amateurs rule in Apple advert

(Reuters) - Lucy Li, who became the youngest player ever to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open in 2014, has been warned by the United States Golf Association (USGA) after breaching amateur status rules by appearing in an Apple Watch advertising campaign.

The USGA announced on Thursday that Li, 16, breached rule 6-2, but determined that there were extenuating circumstances. It issued her with a "one-time warning" and said she can retain her amateur status.
