Solheim Cup golf 2026: Europe v U.S.A., day 2 foursomes– live
Key occasions
Eye of the Tiger now on the wheels of steel. It’s a sonic assortment. Esther Henseleit and Jennifer Kupcho take turns to toss darts at the pin on 1. Putting competitors turning up. And Leona Maguire wins it! It’s foggy early in the Netherlands, however warm forEurope As for the music, if we’re avoiding back through the years in any sort of regimented order, the next track will be something from the 1950s. I’m choosing something from Jazz in Silhouette by Sun Ra and his Arkestra.

1UP Maguire/Henseleit v Kupcho/Zhang (1 )
Rhodes/Nadaud vAn Lee/Kim
Corpuz’s opening putt is uncharacteristically off-beam. Wide right and 4 feet previous. It’s still the U.S.A.’s turn. Korda cleans for par. But the damage has actually currently been done. Stark makes the birdie putt, and Europe put some blue on the board in brief order. Meanwhile back on the tee, Rose Zhang divides the fairway to get the 2nd match underway, and Leona Maguire does similarly. Why stand Maguire down the other day afternoon? Not sure. Not sure.
1UP Stark/Grant v Corpuz/Korda (1 )
Maguire/Henseleit v Kupcho/Zhang
As they have actually been doing all week, the DJ is making an ideal old racket. LIV Golf has a lot to respond to for. Taylor Swift getting an airing in the cool early morning breeze. Nevertheless, the gamers gon na play, play, play, play, play, and Nelly Korda discovers the centre of the green. A good start for the U.S.A., however Linn Grant takes it up a notch by shrieking her method to 3 feet. Very early benefit to the hosts!
One stat that many definitely advantages Team U.S.A.: Allisen Corpuz and Nelly Korda have an all-time five-and-zero record as a collaboration in the foursomes, the most winningest (let’s hold hands throughout the ocean) pairing in Solheim Cup history. Corpuz blasts the very first tee shot of day 2 down the fairway, and Maja Stark wastes little time in following her. It’s occurring once again, my golf-crazed pals!
… therefore it starts once again. The groups are level after punching it out on the first day, and the U.S.A. as holders have the incorporate their pocket, however there is one method which Europe have the benefit. Every gamer has actually seen some action currently, and just 2 Europeans are meaningless: Celine Boutier and Nanna Madsen, who were oddly sent for a 2nd match the other day afternoon after their out-of-sorts display screen in the early morning. The U.S.A. have 5 gamers still to make their mark, and 4 of them– Jennifer Kupcho, Rose Zhang, Andrea Lee and Auston Kim– will play in these upcoming foursomes. Again, best of luck thinking how this is going to go.
Day 2 preamble: Europe 4-4 U.S.A.
It appeared like Team U.S.A. would take a one-point lead into Saturday when Nelly Korda and Lauren Coughlin discovered the 18th green in policy, while Carlota Ciganda was straying piste down the 1st as part of an ersatz homage to the more outré work of Severiano Ballesteros and Jordan Spieth. But in the timeless matchplay design, Korda and Coughlin missed their birdie putts, while Ciganda got up and below no place to in some way protect a half forEurope And now here we are …
… and this is the order in which the Saturday foursomes will head out today. Friday was so much enjoyable, and if today is even midway as amusing, we’ll remain in for a wild and terrific reward. Good luck with confidence anticipating the winner of any of these matches, or certainly the entire thing itself. Solheim Cup fever is raving; will not someone please call Dr Golf?! It’s on.
