POLL ON "SUDDENLY-IT'S-ALL-OVER-FINISH" TO SOLHEIM CUP

SEVENTY-FIVE PER CENT THINK TIES SHOULD
HAVE BEEN PLAYED TO A FINISH

Were you, like me, astounded by the way in which the last-day Solheim Cup action suddenly halted once Catriona Matthew had got the winning point?
What happened to the traditional match-play format in team events where every tie was played to a finish to give an overall result?
Golfalot.com have been running a poll among their users, asking them to vote on what the remaining matches should have done after Europe had sealed victory in the Solheim Cup?
The results were:

Ties should have been played to a finish: 57%
Concede victory to whoever was ahead: 23%
Called them a half: 20%
