off course she has this is the media, it's in their blood, it also says the other USA player shouted dont pick it up!!!! proof enough the putt was never given and as i say again, unless it is given verbally or with a GESTURE the putt has to be played, 16 inches or not it may have not been straight and indeed a difficult putt to knock in.
years ago 2 overweight women USA were caught doing unsporting things in the same comp. and not to mention AZINGER and cant remember his partner playing Seve and Olostmyball swopping balls in a foursome in the Ryder Cup, so there is past history also. If the teenager walked off she was probably niave but Petterson stood her ground said nothing and did not give the putt, it is not unsporting she played to the letter of the rules so how can this be unsporting, the Usa girl made a mistake and the press did the rest !!!
