Dramatic play at Solheim Cup continues as Europe takes 2-point lead

ST. LEON-ROT, Germany – The conclusion of Day 1 four-balls proved worth the early wake-up call. Both teams played sensational golf in driving rain at St. Leon-Rot Golf Club.

Day 1’s final tally: Europe 5, USA 3. Both matches concluded in a halve. The current score mirrors that of two years ago at Colorado Golf Club.

Match 3 closed in a dramatic way on Friday when Carlota Ciganda holed a shot from 135 yards on the 17th hole. The match was suspended due to darkness, and when they returned Saturday morning to finish the 18th, the exciting play continued.
