Easy to say, but if your opponent is halfway off to the next hole it would be thought they're happy for you to come with them.

Hull was still on the green when the girl picked up the marker

The Europeans clarified that putts would be given clearly and she had been warned twice - to make sure she should have sought clarification before picking it up

Or she did hear a concession
 
I've played matchplay golf at various levels for 40 years. If I hit a putt 18 inches past the hole and my opponent turned round and started walking off the green, I would take that as a concession.

Thinking back to the famous Nicklaus/Jacklin concession in the Ryder Cup and the sportsmanship showed then, I wonder what Big Jack thinks about this incident.

As already stated, golf is the loser this week :mad:

No that's tripe. If you watch the video there is no way on earth she was simply walking to her partners position... she was off to the next tee.
 
Hull and her caddy took off as if to say that is good. had she wanted her to finish off she should have stood her ground. Running about like that gives the girl no opportunity to tap in without distraction.

Swingsitlikehogan would have had a fit over this.

The players states that she wasn't walking to the next tee but to her PP and that's exactly the line she was taking

Watched her first putt from the side of the green. Started walking off, with back to the hole, when it trundled by. If going to see another putt, then stay and watch! How do you know if they hole the next one otherwise?!

Because she has a partner who was watching and it was Peterson who called it not Hull who said she was walking towards Peterson.

She was marching off the green, so if Lee had actually putted out she would have either had to wait for her to stop or carry on and hope she wasn't put off. Sorry if you haven't conceded a putt you should stay where you are. Marching off the green when a putt has not been conceded, and making the opponent wait to putt out is poor etiquette.

Hull and Pettersen will always be remembered for this incident. Pettersen accoring to Laura Davies will not have a problem, but I think Hull will. It could so easily been avoided, and both Europeans would have come out as good sports.

It will not do Alison Lee's career any harm though.

I have no reason not too - she is a 19 year old girl who has never had any issues on the golf course so I see no reason why she would lie.

She ended up right next to Peterson who called the penalty

If it's a singles match then I can see the issue in regards Hull moving but she had a PP who was also watching what was happening - now Peterson must have seen her pick up the ball - remembering that she had been warned twice and called th penalty. Hull and Peterson weren't stood next to each and Hull said she was walking towards Peterson. Hull would have been stood next to Peterson whilst Lee putted out.

Peterson wasn't halfway to the next tee - she was on the edge of the green when the ball was picked up and Hull was still on the green

It was deceptive from Pettersen to be needlessly that far from the situation then call the penalty, and not surprised to see a number of big name golfers criticise her for it.

Not the spirit the game should be played in.

Hull and her caddie both turned their backs on Lee, and walked off to the edge of the green. If she had wanted to tap it in she would have had to wait for them. That is poor and I don't think she did that on any putt over the three days.

Sorry to me it is bad sportsmanship. I personally think if Lee had started to mark her ball, the Europeans would have then said pick it up.

Just watched it again - Hull and Petersons caddy started moving , Hulls caddy stayed there to watch and then put his hands up when she picked the ball up

But the commentator says the ref called th hole then Lee picked the ball up - which looked like shocked Peterson etc so they said they didn't give the putt so the ref called it a win to Europe - has the ref caused the issue ?

Hulls caddy didn't move away

It was Petersons caddy moving to her - Peterson appears to be watching the whole time
