ST. LEON-ROT, Germany – The Americans prevented a sweep in early Saturday morning’s dramatic finish to Friday’s suspended fourball matches at the Solheim Cup.
Halving both the suspended matches in the rain, the Americans headed into Saturday’s foursomes down 5-3.
With Europe finishing strong before darkness suspended Friday’s play, the American response was important.
All square at the last hole resuming one suspended match, Europe’s Mel Reid carved a shot to 15 feet, setting up a birdie chance. American Lexi Thompson followed, lasering her approach to 12 feet. They couldn’t outdo each other.
