St Leon-Rot (Germany) (AFP) - Europe's bid for a third successive win in the Solheim Cup remained on track at St Leon-Rot on a weather-affected opening day on Friday.

All square with the USA after the morning foursomes, the home team got the upper hand in the afternoon fourballs and moved 4-2 ahead overnight.

With an hour’s play having been lost due to a thunderstorm, Europe won two of the fourballs and two matches were unfinished due to bad light.
