- USA lead Europe 10-6 before singles on Sunday
- Home side need four and a half points to win Solheim Cup
On a Saturday evening at Medinah in 2012, Europe’s male golfers discovered their pulse. A seemingly unassailable 10-4 deficit became 10-6 by close of play. Everyone knows what happened next, as Europe turned the tables on an epic Sunday against the US.
For Sergio García, Luke Donald, Ian Poulter and Rory McIlroy, read Carlota Ciganda, Emily Pedersen, Charley Hull and Georgia Hall. Victories for two European fourball pairings has provided faint hope of retaining the Solheim Cup in Virginia. The US need four and a half singles points for victory. The ghost of Medinah means Stacy Lewis and her home team will not be celebrating quite yet.
