(Dagbladet): Suzann Pettersen (34) was in fact the big talk ice during – and after – golf tournament Solheim Cup. The Norwegian pro received massive criticism for a situation that experts and other professionals are referred to as a scandal.
– I’ve always seen anything like it. It is foul, saying golf commentator and former golf pro Per Haugsrud Dagbladet.
– A disgrace to the sport, summarizes golf pro Zach Johnson on Twitter after the incident that shocked the golfing world.
event everyone was talking about was when US Alison Lee picked up the ball when she thought Europe had given away the putt. But this was not so. Pettersen pointed out the error, which meant that Europe won the hole and finally the match.
– Isfronten
Experts and players raged. But Pettersen did not even criticism afterwards.
– We met a Isfront when we came out onto the pitch. There we were fully prepared. Americans hate us. It was they who made a mistake. I’ve never been more quiet. It was not a putt we were giving away. She thought she had received, says Pettersen to Eurosport.
– I can not imagine that I made some mistakes, says Pettersen.
The Norwegian golf pro broke no rules – but trampled on the other hand on one of the “gentleman-sport” unwritten rules. She will also support:
– The player meeting it was made clear that there would be no doubt that the putter is given before one picks up the ball. There is no doubt that Tutta was right in pointing out the relationship with the judge, and the judge did right when Alison Lee lost the hole, says Jon Karlsen, toppidrett responsible in Norwegian Golf Association, told Dagbladet.
– What does matter somewhat controversial is that the European captains collectively lose your head openly. Here shows Tutta great strength even though her own captains put her in one bad light, says Karlsen, who is also Tutte putting trainer.
Career Threatening
Golf Commentator and former golf pro Per Haugsrud believes Pettersen should be glad she ended up losing.
– We can call karma. Pettersen doing something she absolutely should not do. It’s not like we want sport to be regarded. I’ve seen the clip a dozen times now and it is terribly wrong it Pettersen does, says Haugsrud Dagbladet.
The former golf pro encourage Pettersen to lie flat.
– She should have done it right away. Already outfield could she say: “Sorry, I made a mistake.” But she’s more stubborn than “man” (mountains in Romsdal). “Man” is moving at least a few centimeters. I doubt that it will no regrets, says Haugsrud.
He believes the situation and all the criticism could damage the reputation of Suzann Pettersen – not least because she competes and spend a lot in just the United States.
– I’m afraid this will pursue her long. Live bread her is the US and the public can be unforgiving. Being unpopular can at worst destroy a career, says Haugsrud.
– In what way?
– Golf is a sport that requires tremendous concentration. Playing with the crowd against them is terrible. It becomes something else than playing a football match away. It may be about sabotage as hosting and unrest. People can lose things on the ground on purpose to interfere. Therefore, I would encourage her to lie flat and regret, says Haugsrud.
– What does this mean for the reputation?
– She has built up in an amazing way for 15 years. It may now have been torn down. The good reputation and the status can be lost. When Suzann adds up, she was an obvious candidate to be a captain in the Solheim Cup. Now the question is whether anyone wants her there, says Haugsrud.
Toppidrett Responsible in Norwegian Golf Association commenting following:
– Alison Lee takes his own putt about 60 centimeters away, and must of course take the consequences of it. We can not develop match play so that players themselves decide which putter they should get, said Karlsen. toppidrett responsible in Golf Association, told Dagbladet earlier today.
