Nine years after Solheim Cup concession controversy, Alison Lee back on U.S. team

Alison Lee, the American golfer who was involved in a controversial concession during the 2013 Solheim Cup, is back on the U.S. team for the 2023 edition of the biennial event.

Lee, 26, was a member of the U.S. team that lost to Europe in 2013 at Colorado Golf Club. In the final match of the tournament, Lee conceded a putt to European opponent Suzann Pettersen that would have extended the match to extra holes. The concession was criticized by some observers, who felt that Lee had given up too easily.

Lee has since said that she regrets conceding the putt, and that she has learned from the experience. She is now one of the most experienced players on the U.S. team, and she is hoping to help her team to victory in Scotland.
