Europe picked up the pace at the Solheim Cup on Saturday, pulling even with the United States at 8-8 after splitting the morning foursome matches and winning the afternoon fourballs.
The contest will be decided by the 12 singles matches on Sunday, when Europe will try to win an unprecedented third straight Solheim Cup. The Europeans arrived as favorites but had to come from behind after the Americans took a 4-0 lead in Friday’s first session.
Ciganda, the only Spaniard in the European team, made a clutch birdie for a win on the 16th hole and is the only player with a perfect record. She won three straight sessions after sitting out the opening one on Friday. Pedersen, playing in her fourth consecutive session, teamed up with Madelene Sagstrom for a 2 and 1 win over Rose Zhang and Andrea Lee.
“I think we came out with a more aggressive mindset today. Losing yesterday was not fun. Our first loss ever,” Grant said. “So we kind of had a different view of it today and just went out and crushed it from the start.” “It felt good to go out early and get that one point so we could get ahead of the Americans,” said Pedersen, who on Friday made the second hole-in-one in Solheim Cup history.
