Europeans Defend Controversial Call in Solheim Cup Defeat
ST. LEON-ROT, Germany — Despite making the call that ultimately proved the turning point for the Americans' memorable victory in the Solheim Cup, Suzann Pettersen feels she did the right thing.
It was the Norwegian who demanded American rookie Alison Lee be penalized at the 17th hole of their morning fourball match for picking the ball up when she thought the putt had been conceded. The Americans were furious, and used that anger to engineer the biggest comeback in Solheim history, coming from four points down in the singles to clinch the victory.
Pettersen, though, said she was simply playing by the rules and doing her best for her team. She would "totally" do it again.
