Europe Leads US 4-2 at Solheim Cup in Germany
ST. LEON-ROT, Germany — Spain's Carlota Ciganda hit an eagle to level her match as Europe led the United States 4-2 Friday on the opening day of the Solheim Cup.
Ciganda holed out from the fairway to win the 17th hole as she and Melissa Reid of England came from 2 down to draw level with Cristie Kerr and Lexi Thompson with one hole left before play was suspended due to bad light.
Kerr and Thompson had looked to boost the Americans on a difficult afternoon in the best-ball fourball series. Reid hit two birdies in succession to level, only for the American duo to respond with a birdie each before Ciganda struck her eagle.
