Sorenstam: 'I was wrongly accused of giving advice'

ST. LEON-ROT, Germany – Annika Sorenstam found herself in the middle of yet more Solheim Cup tension last weekend, but she wanted to make it clear Sunday night that she wasn’t fairly placed there.

Television cameras captured Sorenstam and European captain Carin Koch in a heated discussion with U.S. captain Juli Inkster over how advice is properly communicated to players during the competition. There was no sound with the images, but the parties were clearly agitated.

By rules, only the captain can give advice to players during the competition, unless the captain designates someone to take her place in that role.
