ST LEON-ROT, Germany — Players from both teams were in tears after a controversial incident on the 17th green helped holders Europe take a commanding 10-6 lead over the United States in the 14th Solheim Cup on Sunday.
In one of three fourballs that had spilled over from Saturday night, American rookie Alison Lee missed a birdie putt from 10 feet that would have put her and Brittany Lincicome one up on Charley Hull and Suzann Pettersen.
The ball went 16 inches past the cup and Lee scooped it up, believing it was an automatic concession from the European pair.
