On the opening day, the Europeans led the US by three points – a score of 5.5 – 2.5 thanks to five wins and a draw. The opening series recorded a controversial situation. At that time, the referee team used the 10-second rule to decide the away team lost the 13th hole, with the assessment that the ball “hangs the rim” after Nelly Korda’s eagle stroke – the US player, number one in the world.
“I think the American players are up. I think the last day will be tense because half a point is also precious. Besides, they are enthusiastically cheered by the local audience, thereby enthusiastically winning back the Solheim Cup at home. “, Europe captain Catriona Matthew commented before the singles series. Matthew used to hold this position when the team won the championship at 14.5-13.5 at the 16th – 2019 match at Gleneagles, Scotland. That year, they used three rookies in the force, while the US had five players to make the pitch.
