Pro golfers react to controversial Solheim Cup moment on Twitter

Controversy overshadowed the Solheim Cup Sunday morning, as Team USA dropped a costly point after Alison Lee mistakenly picked up a short putt that was not conceded.

While the Europeans were acting under the letter of the law, many golfers and commentators are saying that it was not in the spirit of the game. Here's what some professional golfers had to say about the issue on Twitter:

Move Suzann Pettersson down a few notches on the ol' respect-o-meter this AM. Brutal gamesmanship in Solheim Cup. #c'monman
