Solheim Cup: A Short Putt and a Long Apology

GOLF IS A STRANGE GAME. Europe was on its way to a third consecutive victory in the Solheim Cup when European star Suzann Pettersen delivered a devastating blow to sportsmanship.

American Alison Lee thought her short putt on the 17th hole had been conceded by her opponents. Pettersen insisted that was not the case, meaning Europe won the hole. One hole later, Europe won the match, 1-up, to take a commanding 10-6 lead heading into the singles matches, which was the final session of the competition.
