ST. LEON-ROT, Germany – Amid backlash from some prominent fellow professionals, Europe’s Suzann Pettersen stood her ground over her handling of the controversial phantom concession at the end of the fourball matches early Sunday morning at the Solheim Cup.
After Sunday’s afternoon singles matches, Pettersen said she had no regrets about how she dealt with American Alison Lee and the controversy at the 17th green, where Lee lost the hole for scooping her ball after thinking she heard the Europeans concede her 18-inch putt.
The Europeans did not, and it led to the Americans losing the match and a vital point heading into singles.
