NAPLES, Fla. – Suzann Pettersen this week is making her first start on American soil since she found herself at the heart of the Solheim Cup controversy that stirred up so much vitriol in Germany almost nine weeks ago.
Standing on the driving range Wednesday preparing for the CME Group Tour Championship, Pettersen feels comfortable that time is working its magic, soothing any wounds that may linger.
“I think everything’s good,” Pettersen said between shots. “It’s good for me. I feel like it’s all dying down on tour.”
Pettersen came under fire on Sunday morning of the Solheim Cup after American Alison Lee scooped up an 18-inch putt on the 17th green, saying she thought she heard the Europeans concede it.
