TOLEDO, Ohio – After taking a three-point lead on Day 1 of the Solheim Cup, European captain Catriona Matthew sees little reason to make a lineup overhaul.
Matthew is sending out three of the same teams she used in Day 1 foursomes on Day 2. The Euros won the session, 3 1/2 – 1/2, on Saturday. The only difference is, Matthew is replacing Celine Boutier with Madelene Sagstrom as Georgia Hall’s partner. Hall and Boutier eeked out a tie together on Day 1.
On the American side, U.S. captain Pat Hurst is making a couple of changes. She is keeping Danielle Kang and Austin Ernst together as well as Lexi Thompson and Brittany Altomare. Both of those teams lost, 1 up, in the opening session. But she is pairing Nelly Korda with Ally Ewing, instead of with Nelly’s sister, Jessica. Korda and Ewing won their fourballs match together on Saturday afternoon.
