3. Pettersen’s payoff, the 2019 Solheim Cup

Hollywood writers couldn’t have penned a better ending to this year’s Solheim Cup. Suzann Pettersen was a dubious European wild card after playing three Rolex Ranking tournaments in 18 months with two missed cuts. Fate dictated that the Solheim Cup rested on the Norwegian making a 7-foot putt on the final green to defeat Marina Alex. Pettersen did to deliver a fairy-tale win, made all the more dramatic by her immediate retirement from golf.
