I don’t think the players have a choice with the referee there and refuse to allow her to referee surely ?

Isn’t golf “self governed” and rules officials step in when asked?

And the players are not allowed to agree to break the rules. It is the correct decision, just unfortunate that we all know the ball would not have dropped.I don’t think the players have a choice with the referee there and refuse to allow her to referee surely ?

Not when it comes to these Ryder/Solhiem Cups - a referee is with each group and is there it step in , been many rules issues over the years in both events I believe that’s why they have them with each game now.

I don’t think that can happen in this event
It’s a harsh rule but appears to be the correct one.

What a gesture for the USA to concede the hole right now?

Which can happen. We have all seen balls go 'in the back door'. Balls can go backwards - so there was a chance it could go in. The point is that it is not up to Sagstrom, a youtube guy, or anyone else other than Korda or Ewing to decide. They are entitled to their 10s. The rule is clear. Golf rules can be harsh. Unfair even - but it only works if people observe them no matter what, and dont modify them to how they think they should be, or what the outcome should be disregarding the rule.

Does seem like a bit of naivety. Simple thing to do is ask, do you want it back before you grab it.
Its not the Europeans call to say if its stopped or not.

why would you ask if they want it back?

Surely if the referee had an issue she should’ve stepped in right away and not after the hole was completed
As if the European player had known she needed an eagle to half she would’ve been more aggressive with her putt

Absolute nonsense. The ball had come to rest and had been in that position for 7 seconds. The laws of physics say that there is absolutely zero chance of that ball rolling back UPHILL to drop into the hole - the rules of golf might say different but the laws of physics contradict that.

I’m now dreading the squawking and mindless ??? hollering at the Ryder Cup after watching this…. I’d forgot just how painful it is! Please keep them quiet Europe ?

This was exactly my thoughts too - there’s an official with each group so why wasn’t it dealt with at the time! If it wasn’t sorted during the play of that hole it shouldn’t be allowed to be decided after.

It was sorted at the time - the ref stepped in pretty much as the ball was passed back Korda

You could of waited 10mins but no way was that going to drop in a month of sundays.

1) They play according to the rules of golf.
2) The ball would not have to roll UPHILL to drop into the hole if it is overhanging the hole.
