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.
Davies is spot on. lol at you.

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.

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