ST LEON-ROT, Germany (Reuters) - Charley Hull and Suzann Pettersen took center stage as holders Europe stormed into an 8-4 lead over the United States on the second day of the 14th Solheim Cup on Saturday.

Hull maintained her 100 percent record in this week's event as she and her Norwegian partner fought back brilliantly from four down through 11 holes to win a nerve-jangling foursomes match at the 18th.

Pettersen hit a majestic approach to five feet and the 19-year-old Englishwoman rolled in the putt to claim the European pair's fifth birdie in a breathtaking run over the closing seven holes.
