LONDON, March 30 (Reuters) - New European Solheim Cup captain Annika Sorenstam has promised to handle things differently if there is a repeat of the unsavoury incident that marred last year's defeat by the United States.
Tempers flared on the final day of the women's equivalent of the Ryder Cup in Germany six months ago when European player Suzann Pettersen refused to concede a 16-inch putt to Alison Lee and the American picked her ball up on the 17th green.
That left the referee no option but to award the hole to Pettersen and fourballs partner Charley Hull, leading to victory for the pair against Lee and Brittany Lincicome and accusations of a lack of sportsmanship by the home team.
