Europe and the USA split the points in the morning – 2-2 after the Foursomes! This sets the stage for an epic Four-Ball battle in the afternoon at the 2026 Solheim Cup at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands. The starting position could barely be more exciting, as this tie brutally raises the bar for tactical masterstrokes this afternoon.
Currently in focus: Nelly Korda and Allisen Corpuz, who secured a victory in the first foursomes match against Charley Hull and Solheim Cup debutant Lottie Woad with an ice-cold 4&3. They are making history: As the first duo in the Solheim Cup, they achieve an impressive 5-0-0 record together – a truly remarkable feat they are laying down on the greens. This was a very strong start for Team USA and shows they are playing with nerves of steel.
Thrills and Debutant Fire
Besides this highlight, there were other gripping duels where neither team could truly pull away. While Corpuz and Korda secured a point for the USA, the Europeans fought back and also claimed two victories. For the fans, this means pure drama from the very first minute. Especially Lottie Woad's debut, directly in the spotlight against top players, was a true test of grit. The 2-2 interim score after the Foursomes ensures that every point in the Four-Ball later will be worth its weight in gold.
Tactical Poker in the Afternoon
The tension rises with the start of the Four-Ball matches on Friday afternoon, which begin at 1:05 PM CEST. The captains must now sharpen their strategies for the upcoming pairings and deploy the players in the best possible way. 14 points are needed to retain the trophy, and the USA are defending champions, following their 15½-12½ victory two years ago. The setup promises a second half of the day full of risk, aggression, and hopefully plenty of eagles. The show is on!
