U.S. lucky to trail only by 1 after first session

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa – Cristie Kerr thrust her right fist in the sky and walked in the final few feet of her clutch birdie at the last Friday at the Solheim Cup.

How many times have we seen that over the last two decades?

Kerr buried a 15-footer to complete a terrific comeback, teaming with Lexi Thompson to halve their foursome match after being 2 down with two holes to go against Europe’s Mel Reid and Charley Hull.

A roar rolled across central Iowa.

The real story, though, was the desperation in that putt.
