Irish woman up against Nelly Korda and Allisen Corpuz in foursomes at Finca Cortesin
The youthful Swedes – Stark is 23, Grant a year older – face Lexi Thompson, primed to hit the opening tee shot with the Americans having the honour as visitors, and Megan Kang in the first foursomes match; followed by Celine Boutier and Georgia Hall against Danielle Kang and Andrea Lee; then Maguire and Nordqvist against Korda and Corpuz, with Charley Hull and Emily Pedersen facing off against Ally Ewing and Cheyenne Knight in the anchor match.
Anna Nordqvist of team Europe videos the fans during practice prior to the The Solheim Cup at Finca Cortesin.

In Toledo, Maguire – who earned four and a half points from five in stealing the show then – had Mel Reid and Hall as partners.
The biggest surprise of the foursomes pairings was the exclusion by Lewis of Lilia Vu, the world number two and winner of two Majors this season, the Chevron and the AIG Open. Perhaps her omission from the early fray will serve to make her prove a point when she does inevitably get her chance.
