Solhiem Cup

[Slime]

Bitter Taste
Sooner someone else won
Calling her a disgrace
It's quite easy to make assumptions when you post the above in relation to Peterson.

The US have won I'm pretty sure the US will lap up the karma.

Yes, I would sooner someone else had won it ................... as per a previous post;

I'd sooner any other European won it rather than Pettersen.
Slime.

so don't try to twist things to appear that I'd sooner the Americans had won, very petty.


The Cup was won by the better team, unfortunately that was America.
No-one will ever know what effect the controversy had on either team, but I would guess that it boosted the Americans more than the Europeans.

I don't understand the 'bitter taste' comment, very strange.

Slime.

Well done USA, the ladies version of Miracle at Medinha


Just looked on twitter and pro's and respected journalists from golf mags are saying things like, "justice", "someone scored an own goal this morning", "says it all" and these are all Europeans

It's not a knock about at the weekend

It's the biggest team comp in ladies golf

My apologies. I thought they were just playing to see who got the Bakewell Tarts in at the end.

Excellent - guess I didn't make a valid point then and maybe you know exactly how to react in that situation

Yes seen a few comments on Twitter - think it was Piers Morgan who called them "sporting cheats"


@piersmorgan: Very glad the Americans won #SolheimCup.
Sporting cheats should never prosper.
Shame on you @suzannpettersen. Pathetic performance.

Who are the justice tweets from ?

He is just trying to ingratiate himself with Americans who pretty much hate him currently.

I believe Mr Morgan also opened his big trap in a spat regading a few England cricketers a while back. He reall should stay out of things that don't concern him.

It's very hard to judge her actions by using what we would do because none of us can contemplate what it's like to be in that situation.

Maybe you can remember that the next time you throw your judgement on a scenario that's given on here.

Eh ?

Is that the scenario where you "asked" for people to make judgements on ?

Golf is the clear loser over this unfortunately. It could have been cleared up amicably within the spirit of the game. A rookie makes a clear mistake and its pounced on.

I'm sorry to say Hulls immediate walk would appear to dismiss the next putt as a gimme but I am fully aware of the rules, and the spirit.

Who wants to win over a technicality, not I, ever.

Totally agree. Hull was walking off the green at some speed. If the American had putted out, she would have had to wait for her to stand still. If you haven't conceded the putt stand where you are, and don't frog march across the green to the next tee.

Great opportunity to show the game in a good light, but all it will be remembered for is the poor sportsmanship and tears. Europe moaned like hell when they were made to play a chip again years ago, but when they have the chance to show they are bigger than that, they blow it. Technically they were in the right, but they also could still have conceded after the event.

Well played to the Americans, especially Alison Lee, and Europe got what they deserved in my opinion. If we had halved or won the match by a point the poor sportsmanship would have rumbled on for ever.

Golf from both sides was brilliant, birdies galore, but that will not get reported as much as a 'not conceded putt'. Great advert for the game.

Personally I'm glad USA won. Karen Cochs interview tarnished the whole event.

You can argue the rules all you like but the real loser in this was - Golf.

 

[Ethan]

Pettersen is a Nike staffer. Odds on an apology within the week.

May or may not be sincere.

 

[chrisd]

It's not the first time and certainly won't be the last time that a match turns on a controversial gimme at all levels if the game - I just wonder whether a standard phrase should be used as the word "provisional" has to be in other circumstances. Maybe "shot conceded" or something like that could be bought into the rules?c

The issue I have is - the girl was warned twice already by her opposition in previous matches - so the Europeans had already allowed her twice to pick the ball without a concession - so she already knew that they were ensuring that any conceded putts where done in a clear manner ( as confirmed by the European players ) - even her PP went to warn her - so why did she once again pick up the ball despite the previous warnings.

The problem is she claimed she heard a concession - both the Europeans said they didn't concede - so it wasn't the walking away that made her pick up - she said she heard a concession.

Not fully up to speed so nobody jump down my neck here ,one of the people I follow on twitter said this is what the discussion /argument was about yesterday ..

Was this the 2nd r 3ed time it happened over the week ?

Personally it doesn't bother me who won.. BUT if I was playing in a match, even a club knock out, unless you TOLD me , that's ok , pick it up etc , I wouldn't take it upon myself to pick up my ball, id have no right to ..

IF she didn't say any of these things to indicate its conceded , she had no right to pick it up ..

Should sportsmanship have come into it ? possibly

but you still don't have the right to take a concession that was not offered no matter what you think is going on

Possibly saying that as no-one can dispute it! Wouldn't surprise me if she saw the Europeans marching off to the next tee and assumed they must have conceded it.

Would have helped if the Europeans had stayed within 50 yards while she was finishing the hole. More polite as well.

I have to say i have fully enjoyed watching this Solheim cup. Some cracking golf played by both sides. Bit of controversy thrown in that all of us will never agree on.

But overall a fantastic few days of golf.

This is what I heard that's why I would be calling her on it the 3rd time . 3 times is taking liberties

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.
