DEN BOSCH, Netherlands (AP) --- The Solheim Cup resumed under a gloomy sky
Saturday with Europe and the United States tied at 4-4 and both teams hoping
for more from their power pairings.
Yet more points in the case of record-breaking American duo Allisen Corpuz and
Nelly Korda, who set out in the first match of Day 2 seeking a sixth straight
victory together.
As for the Europeans, they need more form from Charley Hull and Lottie Woad,
who combined for just a half-point across two sessions on the opening day.
After more noisy first-tee fun at Bernardus Golf, Team Europe made a stronger
start to the morning foursomes that got underway at 7:40 a.m. local time.
Corpuz and Korda were trailing, 1 down, to Swedish pair Linn Grant and Maja
Stark after five holes. In Match 3, European rookies Mimi Rhodes and Nastasia
Nadaud were reunited and were 2 up over Andrea Lee and Auston Kim after four
holes.
Both sessions were split 2-2 on Friday, and that never happened in the previous
19 editions of the Solheim Cup.
The United States, which has an 11-7-1 advantage in a series that dates to
1990, is the defending champion and needs 14 points to retain the crystal
trophy.
