ST. LEON-ROT, Germany -- Charley Hull and Suzann Pettersen beat Alison Lee and Brittany Lincicome 2 up in controversial fashion at the Solheim Cup to give Europe a 10-6 lead over the United States going into Sunday's singles matches.

Lee missed a short putt for a birdie on the 17th of their resumed fourball match and then picked up her ball under the assumption Europe had conceded -- Hull was already walking toward the last hole -- only for Pettersen to claim Europe hadn't conceded the short putt.
