After the United States won a foursomes session 4-0 for the first time ever, Suzann Pettersen’s side rallied to trail just 5-3.
EMILY KRISTINE PEDERSEN and Leona Maguire produced much-needed moments of magic as Europe dramatically kept their hopes of an unprecedented third straight Solheim Cup victory alive at Finca Cortesin in Spain.
And Maguire then chipped in for a birdie on the 18th to give her and Georgia Hall what looked like a good chance of halving their match with Lexi Thompson and Lilia Vu, only for Thompson to crack under the pressure and shank a simple chip shot from the edge of the green. Maguire told Sky Sports: “I feel like we played great all day and it would have been really annoying not to come away with a point.“Georgia kept it together on the front nine and I holed a couple on the back and it’s nice to finish off in style.
United States captain Stacy Lewis had seen her selections questioned after picking an out-of-form Thompson and leaving two-time major winner Vu and rising star Zhang out, but was totally vindicated by the scoreline.
