The United States had a 4-0 lead after the foursomes but Europe battled back in the fourballs, aided by Emily Pedersen’s hole-in-one on the 12th
Solheim Cup
The United States routed their hosts 4-0 in the foursomes. The half-point secured by Gemma Dryburgh and Madelene Sagström against Rose Zhang and Megan Khang in the fourballs placed blue on the board for the first time. Yet Suzann Pettersen and her European team needed more. Much more. They were gasping desperately for air.Enter Leona Maguire.
“It was a tough start,” said Pettersen. “I am immensely proud of the way the entire team fought back in the afternoon. It is not easy knowing you are down by four. Hats off to all my players, they showed their character. You get knocked down, you stand up and you try again. That’s what I told the girls. We are not even halfway through and we are right in this.”
