OCALA, Fla. – Blood was spilled in Wednesday’s pairing of Suzann Pettersen and Alison Lee at the Coates Golf Championship, but it’s not what you think.
About 10 minutes before their highly anticipated tee time, Lee’s nose suddenly began bleeding as she hit putts on the practice green. Lee couldn’t get it to stop at first, pressing gauze to her nose behind the first-tee grandstand as Pettersen and Stacy Lewis prepared to hit their first shots. Lee finally got it stopped just before the trio was introduced.
“We didn’t know if we were going to be a man down,” Pettersen said.
