WATCH: Suzann Peterson apologises over Solheim Cup controversy

"To the fans of golf who watched the competition on TV, I am sorry for the way I carried myself. I can be so much better and being an ambassador for this great game means a lot to me."

Suzann Pettersen has issued an apology for her actions after controversy over the concession of a putt threatened to overshadow Team USA’s victory in the Solheim Cup.

The Norwegian has come in for much criticism after denying she and team-mate Charley Hull had conceded a two-foot putt on the 17th hole of their fourball match on Sunday morning after America’s Alison Lee had picked up her ball.
