(Reuters) - Lexi Thompson received a one-stroke penalty for a rules violation at the LPGA's Indy Championship on Saturday in her first event back after taking a short break from the tour.

Thompson made headlines for another rules violation at last year's ANA Inspiration where she received a penalty for replacing her ball in the wrong spot on the green and went on to lose the major tournament in a playoff.
