What am I missing here? If they never said it was good or pick it up, how can you possibly assume that it's conceded? It's still shady and an angle shoot, but in a close match during during the Solheim Cup, you don't assume putts are good, ever.

US loses without Piller's huge putt on 18, but how about Kerr running 7 birdies in a row! Incredible turnaround; event lives up to the hype.

Regarding the non-concession, lol Laura Davies' comment, "I'm so glad I'm not on that team this time." I'm guessing this fairly reflects the view of the tour players. I don't think Pettersen cares what others think, but in the end this event means nothing other than competing, shaking hands (hugging) after the match, and be proud for the experience.

Happy to see Alison Lee the biggest winner from all of this. Hope it fast tracks her career to the next level.

Well, I think the match referee should have simply had Lee putt it. There is some sort of rule in match play golf covering this situation similar to the rule in poker covering betting actions when a player is unaware of what happened in front of you.

And this incident will be the most remembered aspect of the Solheim Cup for years after.

I saw an article on Yahoo which claimed that the referee had "begun" to announce that the hole was halved. Perhaps this is what Lee was referring to.

Pretty good parlor trick from the Euros, if they had the referee fooled.

You are right. There is a "provision for equity" in the rules to put the ball back down. However, it wasn't possible in this situation for the match referee (Dan Maselli) to do this. See his interview in the link below.

It depends on who that someone was. See ref interview in link below.

Nothing of this sort happened. See ref interview in the link below.

Lastly, Pettersen doubled down on her unsportsmanlike conduct in the post-match interview, which didn't come as a surprise to me.

suzannpettersen: I've never felt more gutted and truly sad about what went down Sunday on the 17th at the Solheim Cup.

I am so sorry for not thinking about the bigger picture in the heat of the battle and competition. I was trying my hardest for my team and put the single match and the point that could be earned ahead of sportsmanship and the game of golf itself! I feel like I let my team down and I am sorry.

To the U.S. team, you guys have a great leader in Juli , who I've always looked up to and respect so much. Knowing I need to make things "right," I had a face to face chat with her before leaving Germany this morning to tell her in person how I really feel about all of this. I wanted her also to know that I am sorry.

I hope in time the U.S. team will forgive me and know that I have learned a valuable lesson about what is truly important in this great game of golf which has given me so much in my life.

To the fans of golf who watched the competition on TV, I am sorry for the way I carried myself. I can be so much better and being an ambassador for this great game means a lot to me.

The Solheim Cup has been a huge part of my career. I wish I could change Sunday for many reasons. Unfortunately I can't.

This week I want to push forward toward another opportunity to earn the Solheim Cup back for Europe in the right way. And I want to work hard to earn back your belief in me as someone who plays hard, plays fair and plays the great game of golf the right way.

So she just basically admitted that it was an angle shoot then? Correct?

Of course not. How would it be an angle shoot from Pettersen exactly? Even Lincicome confirmed that the putt had not been given.

Her PR-advisors have gotten to her and convinced her that, not matter how right she may be, it's not a fight she can/should take.

Next Solheim Cup Europe should start with all young rookies who do what they want since clearly rules shouldn't apply to them, because poor rookie.

If she wasnt intending to concede the putt why did she start walking away? is she just going to be walking across the green while she putts?

Borderline angle shot. A pro should know better. Never assume a putt is good unless you hear it said so.

Lol at some of these comments. Clearly the body language of the euros gave off that the putt was conceded. They both started to walk away immediately as did their caddies. If that doesnt say conceded putt then I dont know what does. I mean were they planning on watching her putt from the next tee box? Scummy on their part for sure and karma got them. LOL euros

You can't go off body language to determine if a putt was conceded. That goes into such a grey area. I think the Euros were correct, but not very classy. Just like a poker player is responsible for their cards, so is a player responsible for their ball. She should know to ask.

I also wouldn't walk away and put the other party in the position.

It was an angle shot but not illegal. I wouldn't want to win a hole that way.

Where is the footage of Suzann walking away?

I see Hull and one caddie walking away while the other caddie is somewhat hesitantly moving a bit and looking over at something/one (I'm guessing Suzann to see what she wants to do). If there's other footage that shows what Suzann was doing then it'd be good to have that linked to.

If you look at Lincicome then she's looking around too looking for confirmation if the putt is given and reports have her shouting "don't pick it up, don't pick it up" at Lee, so this whole "clearly given" is just nonsense.
