Solheim Cup 2026 Day Two Foursomes Live Updates

The Solheim Cup opened at Bernardus Golf on Tuesday morning with a series of tightly contested holes that set the tone for a balanced first day. Early on, Team USA’s Nelly Korda mishit a tee shot on the par‑three 4th, sending the ball wide right into deep heather. Allisen Corpuz, attempting to recover, punched out and tried to use the back‑stop, but her ball landed just short of a bunker on the opposite side of the green. Europe capitalized, requiring two putts to finish the hole, while Korda’s subsequent chip failed to get close. In the anchor match, both sides split the opening hole; Jennifer Kupcho’s approach left her within two feet, and Esther Henseleit was even nearer, giving Europe a gimme. Rose Zhang steadied the United States by sinking a six‑foot putt to secure the half.

The remainder of the morning saw further drama as Corpuz steadied her play, sinking a ten‑foot putt on the third hole to level the match. Meanwhile, Europe’s Charley Hull and Alison Lee opened the anchor game by finding the fairway, maintaining the competitive equilibrium. By the end of the first session, the teams were deadlocked, reflecting the evenly matched nature of the contest and setting up a compelling second day of play.
