Team USA and Team Europe are locked at 8-8 heading into the decisive Sunday singles at the 2026 Solheim Cup, following a dramatic day of fourball matches at Bernardus Golf.
The tie was secured largely due to Jennifer Kupcho’s clutch performance alongside partner Lindy Duncan. The American pair faced a tough challenge against Carlota Ciganda and Celine Boutier but managed to snatch victory thanks to two critical birdies late in the round.
Team USA claimed three points from the fourball session, erasing the deficit they had built after winning only two of the morning foursomes on Saturday. Anna Nordqvist’s European side had taken a 7-5 lead after the morning play, but the Americans responded strongly in the afternoon sessions to reset the contest.
However, the headline act for Europe remained Maja Stark and Linn Grant. The Swedish duo continued their pristine record in the tournament, securing a convincing 2&1 victory over the American pair of Megan Khang and Lauren Coughlin. This marked their third consecutive win across all Solheim Cup formats this week, keeping them unbeaten throughout the event.
In contrast, Britain’s Charley Hull and Lottie Woad saw their campaign stumble once again. The pair fell in a thrilling final-hole defeat to Yealimi Noh and Andrea Lee, adding to the pressure on the home side as they head into the final day.
All eyes now turn to Sunday’s singles matches, which will determine the ultimate winner of the biennial competition. Viewers can follow the action live from 9am on Sky Sports Golf.
