Solheim Cup Deadlocked 8-8 as Singles Decide Winner

Sunday's 12 singles will determine the champion because the U.S. needs six points to retain the trophy while Europe requires 6.5 to win outright.

Overview

  • The match is tied 8-8 after two days at Bernardus Golf, leaving all 12 singles matches on Sunday to decide the 28-point Solheim Cup.
  • Europe seized a 7-5 lead in Saturday morning foursomes when Maja Stark and Linn Grant beat Nelly Korda and Allisen Corpuz, ending the Americans’ five-match foursomes winning streak.
  • Team USA rallied in Saturday afternoon fourballs to pull level, powered by Jennifer Kupcho’s late long-range birdies that secured a crucial point for the U.S.
  • Charley Hull and Lottie Woad have underperformed in four sessions, collecting just half a point and drawing scrutiny over repeated pairing choices by Europe’s captain.
  • The outcome will determine whether the U.S. retains the Cup or Europe regains it on home soil, with home crowd energy and expected wet weather among factors that could shape Sunday’s singles.
