The European duo of Celine Boutier and Georgia Hall had a great comeback in their morning foursome match against USA’s Ally Ewing and Megan Khang. While the Americans took the early lead after winning the first two holes and kept a 2-up advantage for much of the match, the Europeans stormed back over the closing holes to tie the match.
Ewing and Khang kicked off the morning with a birdie and eagle on the opening two holes. They dropped a shot and a hole on the fourth but regained the 2-up lead on the next hole. Holes 7/ 8 and 14/15 witnessed the same scenario, with the Americans regaining a 2-up lead each time the Europeans won a hole.
Ewing holed a clutch par putt to keep Team USA comfortably ahead by two through 16. From there, Hall sunk a difficult putt for birdie on the 17th to push the match to 18. With the USA laying up after finding bunker off the tee, the European duo won the 18th hole with a par and halved the match as they continue their Solheim Cup performance unbeaten.
“It was a really tough match actually. Both teams played really well,” said Hall. “Being 2 down with two to play is not ideal, but really glad that we managed to get a half point.”
