Emotional, in the heat of the moment. Bit like Pettersons reaction in the first place.
both understandable, but both wrong

That chant was also clearly a joke.

Hull indicated putt was conceded by walking off after putt stopped. Misunderstanding but the concession was implied.
Actually hope the Americans stuff them this afternoon now tbh.

Apparently Lee was warned more than once yesterday by Pettersen about picking the ball up early.
You should never, ever pick up a ball in match play until you clearly hear it's been conceded. You shouldn't assume that because someone has walked just off the edge of the green that it's been given.

If I was that referee I'd refuse to officiate a singles match in protest at being undermined if they declare that match a half.

If Hull had conceded it she would have told the match referee. She obviously didn't.

Walking off to the edge of the green does not indicate the putt has been conceded!
Hull was actually still on the green when Lee picked the ball up.

No need to mix up the rules of the game and the spirit of the game.
no-one is questioning the fact that according to the rules the referee, Peterson etc are right.

I know the rules. My post indicated my interpretation of how that played out. Lee should 100% not have picked up until hearing the concession being verbalised.
However taking into account the mistake, should of been conceded post event given the putt distance. Anyway, only an opinion and we all have different ones.
I certainly wouldn't want to have won a match that way. But heat of the moment does funny things to peoples heads (I know from some of rubbish I've seen and done on football pitches).

Just seen it on the tv, in fairness given the circumstances I wouldn't have conceded that putt, there's a time to play easy gimmes and a time to play hardball.
Lee knew her mistake straight away, she was clearly in the wrong and the Europeans took advantage.

Could come back to bite the Europeans on the backside this afternoon.

I can’t think of any way in which that could be done within the Rules. All that could be done, as far as I can see, would be for Europe to concede one of the singles matches - if, that is, there was a wish to find a way to neutralise a most unfortunate incident.

If we lose playing to the rules then I'm perfectly fine with that.

You're absolutely right Colin, and that's not going to happen.
just leaves a bit of a bitter taste for me, that's all.

Well one positive out of it, certainly going to be a better singles day to watch now!

Me too, assuming that the spirit of the game is borne in mind at the same time.

I agree that this incident goes against the spirit of the game, shame really.
Remember when the Americans made the Europeans replay after chipping in?
