Fair Play?

If you know what she said then enlighten us.

If she said that her, and the caddies, walking off was not a concession then yep.....s he lied.

It's dangerous ground right now as both players said they didn't concede the putt.
 
I've watched the video half a dozen times and all I'm saying is that Hull was definitely walking towards the 18th.
That, for me at least, suggests a concession.
Or do you leave the green while your opponents are still putting???

She was walking towards Peterson who was stood on the edge of the green - she says she was moving out of the way of the putt.
 
I would never, ever, leave the green, or attempt to leave the green, whilst my opponent was still putting, whether it was for a birdie or a double bogie.
It's unsporting, and downright bad manners.
I certainly wouldn't attempt to leave the green whilst they still had a putt for a half.

you are correct they didnt, I dont remember many or anyone getting so upset as Charlie Hull was doing over apparently not saying anything. Why was she crying? was it guilt or did she bow down to captains pressure to say what the captain wanted? one can only speculate.

I'll reiterate though that Golf and particularly the LET have come out with a slight tarnish over this storm in a 'D' cup.
 
Hull was spoken to by the match ref. either she said she conceded or she said she didn't concede. She obviously said she didn't. Thus anyone opposing my opinion is essentially calling Hull a liar. Simple as that!

And I never ever pick up my ball unless I have putt it into the hole or I have clear indication from my oppo that the putt has been given

Someone walking isn't clear indication.

Or she was upset because of the accusations aimed at her as they still are now

Wow. She might not have "said" she conceded, but he act of walking off IS CONCEDING in my book. Chill out sunshine.

That's where the grey issue is - there is no set rules out for what is classed as a concession of a putt etc
 
If I had walked away like Hull had it would be because I had conceded the putt.
That's the way it looked to me.

One of those things folks aren't going to agree on though.


Looking at that with no commentary and no prior knowledge of this incident, if someone asked you the question "would you say she has conceded there?" I'd say, if you're being honest with yourself, most would say yes.
 
There is ambiguity about whether the hole was conceded or not on here but at the end of the day, I would NEVER pick up a ball unless I was 100% CERTAIN that it had been conceded. Many's the time I've checked with my opponent that I have got it right that they have conceded the hole. Sometimes you hear a mumble but it's very easy to mistake it so if in doubt, check. If you are not sure, you ask your playing partners for clarification. Conceding the putt may be good manners, etiquette, etc. but it is not a right.
 
Phil, so you turn your back and start walking away before your opponent has finished the hole? That's bad etiquette in my book.

Still IMO the Europeans were wrong and the US right to be upset.
