ST LEON-ROT, Germany — The U.S. were galvanized into putting right a Solheim Cup wrong, said Stacy Lewis after her team mates rallied from 10-6 down to secure a remarkable 14-1/2 points to 13-1/2 victory over Europe on Sunday.
The Americans were left seething earlier in the day when Alison Lee and Brittany Lincicome lost to Suzann Pettersen and Charley Hull by two holes in the morning fourballs carried over from Saturday.
With the fourball match all square, rookie Lee mistakenly believed her tiny 16-inch putt at the 17th had been conceded by her opponents and picked the ball up, leaving the referee no choice but to award the hole to the Europeans.
