After a decent start on day one of the 2023 Solheim Cup, Team Europe made a solid comeback on day two winning two foursome and three fourball matches. They started with a two points deficit to the United States on Saturday, but are now level with scores at 8-8.
On Friday, Team Europe lost all four foursome matches against their counterparts. But in the afternoon fourball matches, they won two and halved two matches.
This was followed by a win in the first foursome match of Saturday, thanks to the brilliance of Emily Pedersen and Carlota Ciganda, who defeated Team USA's Lilia Vu and Jennifer Kupcho by a 2-1 margin.
Suzann Pettersen's Team Europe followed their campaign with two consecutive losses in the morning foursome matches. However, in the final foursome match of the 2023 Solheim Cup, Maja Stark and Linn Grant of Team Europe put on a golf masterclass to defeat Danielle Kang and Andrea Lee by a margin of 1.
Team Europe's momentum was carried forward by Charley Hull and Leona Maguire who registered a clutch victory of 4-3 over Nelly Korda and Ally Ewing of Team USA in the first-afternoon fourball match of day two.
On Saturday, only the pair of Cheyenne Knight and Angel Yin were victorious for Team USA in the fourball matches. The other three matches were won by Team Europe.
By the end of all the foursome and fourball matches, both Team Europe and Team USA are tied with an 8-8 score. They will be back on Sunday for the final singles matches of the 2023 Solheim Cup.
Suzan Pettersen's side needs just 6 points to retain their trophy and 6.5 points to register an outright third consecutive win over Team USA.
