[edit]I'm planning on reworking the 1972 section some, but wanted to ask for feedback first. I trimmed some things in an effort to keep it down to brass tacks and to meet WP:CRIT's NPOV bio recommendations, but on most points wouldn't mind details being added back in. I also tried to keep the summary based on one source, to avoid WP:OVERCITE:
Diaz, Jamie (January 29, 2011). "Fame or Shame? LPGA must decide on Blalock". Sports Illustrated.

- In May 1972, she won the Suzuki Golf International Tournament in Pasadena, California, besting Kathy Whitworth.[1] Shortly afterwards Blalock was disqualified from the Bluegrass Invitational for allegedly placing a ball incorrectly, and then failing to mark a two stroke penalty on her scorecard. Within a month, the LPGA Tour would move to suspend Blalock. In response, she filed an anti-trust lawsuit against the LPGA, obtaining an order to allow her to continue playing until the lawsuit had run its course. The rules violation conflict would continue until 1975,[2] when after losing several appeals[3] and being ordered to pay damages to Blalock,[2] the LPGA agreed to settle.[4] Despite the ongoing lawsuit, in 1972 Blalock went on to win the Dallas Civitan Open[5] and the Lady Errol Classic.[6] Blalock came in second at the 1972 LPGA Championship.[7]
Hi - still up for feedback and tweaking, but no-one's brought a big problem yet, so will work into the content. I won't be too picky if someone wants to alter, though I will be stubborn about removing the "alleged cheating" subheading, in an effort to align with the Wikipedia:Criticism#Avoid_sections_and_articles_focusing_on_criticisms_or_controversies guideline, which reads "sections within an article dedicated to negative criticisms are normally also discourage."
