In the Solheim Cup, Carlota Ciganda’s pre-shot ritual pays off as she hits a great shot on the seventh hole, putting her in a strong position in the match. With Team USA in the lead, fatigue may become a factor for the European players who have to play more matches this afternoon. The top match favors the Americans, who are three up.
In the second match, Linn Grant and Carlota Ciganda make impressive birdie putts, but Charley Hull and Georgia Hall manage to go one up after Hull sinks a birdie putt as well. In the third match, Ally Ewing continues her strong play, putting her and Lexi Thompson two up.
The first afternoon fourball match sees Alison Lee and Meghan Khang taking on Anna Nordqvist and Madelene Sagstrom, with Lee and Khang off to a strong start. The Americans show good form in the afternoon, with players like Andrea Lee and Rose Zhang making birdies.
Laura Davies’ claim that the Solheim Cup is the biggest event in women’s sports is met with skepticism by some, but the lively atmosphere and competitive play on the course keep the fans engaged. As the matches unfold, the tension builds as Europe tries to close the gap with the Americans before the singles matches.
