When the Saturday fourballs of the 2015 Solheim Cup eventually finished on the Sunday morning in Germany the scoreline read 10-6 to Europe but that only told us part of the story. American rookie Alison Lee, playing with Brittany Lincicome, missed a putt to win the hole at the 17th but then picked up her ball, which was less than two feet past the hole, without the putt having been conceded.
Charley Hull was already heading to the 18th tee but Suzann Pettersen pointed out that the putt hadn't been given and the hole was awarded to Europe. They then won the closing hole and the Americans, led by Juli Inkster, had all the incentive that they needed and they would win eight and a half points in the singles for a one-point victory.
