Yep. Asked the same question yesterday as, for me, it puts a totally different spin on the situation and Pettersen's actions/reaction.

Had to laugh at the Guardians comment "tiny putt" - can't be from a golfer!!

It was being sad by Rob Lee in the commentary and he was saying it was from the European a capt - I hope fibs aren't being told as it does put a different light on some things
 
I couldn't help thinking that it was only a matter of time before there was a Brookline type incident at the Solheim Cup.
It had to Happen sooner or later with both teams increasingly poor attempts to get under each other's skin Via the Garish Outfits, Silly Facepainting, Exaggerated aggressive celebrations over Tap in putts and general OTT behaviour.
It was beginning to Remind me of Corey Pavin at Kiawah Island and Duval at Brookline with his OTT fist pumping. See Below.. Still annoys me now :angry:

Maybe they'll reign it in a bit after this, I hope so as its a great event but personally I thought it was getting embarrassing at times. Just like Duval ;)

It was getting all a bit too much - when the first pumps and over celebrating happen in the Ryder Cup it seems on the spur of the moment and natural for some reason in the Solheim it seems forced

This was on the BCC Sport site this morning before the apology was published:

"Suggestions that the youngster had made similar mistakes earlier in the same match were later denied by Pettersen."

Last hole on a Sunday, all tied going up the last - of course!

Look at J Day on the driveable par 4 15th this past week. Drive it on Thurs + Fri, lay up on Sat (+ make bogey!) + Sun.

Rest of field affects your decisions.

Fair enough example. :thup:
 
I wonder what the greatest matchplay mind game player of all time, be thinking about this whole incident.

Seve.

I don't know, but if an opponent suddenly developed an intermittent cough that kept occurring on my backswing I'd tell them to stick the match up there backside and walk off.


I don't suppose you can do that in the Ryder cup though.

Theres banter then Theres mind games then Theres just too far.
