The Solheim Cup is wonderfully set up for the final day, with two days of pure drama culminating in an 8-8 score line heading into Sunday.
It's difficult to believe that after Friday morning's foursomes, we'd be heading into the final day level, especially after the USA trounced Europe 4-0. Europe, however, rebounded in the afternoon, and after a 3-1 result in the afternoon's four balls, Europe recorded a 2-2 result in Saturday's foursomes to remain two back.
Following a strong 4&3 victory for Leona Maguire and Charley Hull on Saturday afternoon, Europe was able to steal two of the remaining three games on Saturday to tie things up at 8-8.
