Nelly Korda (pictured) and Allisen Corpuz have now won three straight foursomes matches together.
One year ago, the Americans dominated morning foursomes on the opening day of the Solheim Cup. This year? They did it again.
The U.S. won three of four matches in the opening session of the 19th Solheim Cup at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Va., on Friday, taking a 3-1 lead into the afternoon four-ball session.
Last year, the U.S. won all four foursomes matches to begin the Solheim Cup, although Europe stormed back to win the afternoon session 3-1 in what later became the event’s first-ever tie.
On Friday morning (which was marred by transportation issues slowing fans from getting to the course), the Americans controlled most of the session. Europe’s Emily Pedersen and Maja Stark got up early on Ally Ewing and Jennifer Kupcho in the third match of the day (eventually winning 2 up), but the U.S. pulled away in the other three matches.
