It was determined that no one else saw the infraction, including his fellow competitors Gene Sarazen and Hagen, and the marshals left it up to Jones as to whether a foul should be called.

Schumacher went on record about the weight gain to one magazine by saying: ""It was horrible. I thought it was very cruel. She was a teenager who gained a few pounds -- like all of us do at certain times. I would confront female journalists and Id say, With so many young people suffering from anorexia and bulimia, why are you crucifying this girl?"
