That was because they didn't want to cause a big scene right in the middle of the golf course, by pulling her out in the middle of the round. They caught it right after she teed off the next day. Most pro DQ's I can recall of, they were informed the next day, but before their tee time.
I've actually DQ'd an opponent in a high school match before (guy hit his tee shot to unplayable, so was playing 3 from the tee, three putted and said he took a 5 on a 410yd par 4, that our golf coach said to play as a par 5 if tee shot wasn't in the fairway and within 160 of the hole. No way was I letting that go!)
