Golfweek updates the strange saga of Sarah Brown's mistaken DQ at the Duramed Futures event last week gets murkier.

Brown’s father, Keith, said Wednesday that Zayra Calderon, the tour’s chief executive officer, proposed $2,000 as compensation. Tour officials would not confirm any offer but said they have apologized to Sarah Brown and her father, which the Browns confirmed. The amount would cover Brown’s entry fees for the final four events of the year.

“It’s not that (the rules official) made a mistake,” Keith Brown said. “Everyone makes mistakes. It was the arrogance to say, ‘I’m pulling her off the course."

So, this is what the Brown's are demanding:

--$5,638, the amount Sarah Brown would’ve earned had she finished The International at Concord at 8-under 208. She was 3 under par for the event when she was removed from the golf course with nine holes remaining.

--A waiver of the entry fee to 2010 LPGA Q-School, a $5,000 value. Brown advanced to the finals last year, finishing 84th.

--An annual seminar for Duramed Futures Tour rules official outlining how to handle difficult situations. “I’d like it to be called the Sarah Brown Seminar,” Keith Brown said.

The Browns would like to be compensated with earnings equal to those for players who finished The International at 8 under par. Brown missed a 12-foot birdie putt as a rules official sifted through her bag, which was in Brown’s line of vision.

That putt would’ve put her at 4 under par. Brown’s best score on the back nine at Beaver Meadow Golf Course during the tournament was 4 under, Keith Brown said.

“There’s no guarantees, but they should give her the benefit of the doubt,” he said.

Hmm. Brown started the final round 5-under and was -2 at the turn. So, the demanded 8-under finish is flawed but damages for needless pain and suffering makes sense. Good news is the anonymous Duramed Futures Tour is getting some press. Bad news is receiving this type of pub. My guess is Father Brown will milk this for all its worth. The Tour needs to take its medicine and pay the freight. $2,000 is low. $10k (by including the Q-School entry fee) sounds about right. The Browns would be painted as greedy jerks for demanding more.
