SATURDAY FOURBALLS EUROPE 4 U.S. 0
MATCH 13 Ewart Shadoff Hull def. Creamer Thompson 2 up
Neither team had more than a 1 up advantage until the last hole. The difference here was a Thompson miss from 5 feet and a Hull make from 4 feet on the 17th hole for birdie.
MATCH 14 Ciganda Munoz def. Stanford Piller 1 up
Ciganda after a horrid performance the day before closed with a clutch 8 foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to win the match. Stanford dropped to 0 3 this week.
MATCH 15 Masson Hedwall def. Wie Korda 2 and 1
A better than average match but the story here remains Hedwall who moved to a perfect 4 0 record after two days. She s an unstoppable force who is made for this event.
MATCH 16 Recari Icher def. Kerr Pressel 1 up
The Americans were 3 down after 10 holes and took the match to the 18th hole. But Icher drained a 45 foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to put an exclamation point on an afternoon sweep.
SATURDAY FOURSOMES U.S. 2 1/2 EUROPE 1 1/2
MATCH 9 Nordqvist Hedwall (E) def. Pressel Korda 2 and 1
Nordqvist closed out the match with an ace on the 17th hole. The shot of the tournament. This was a well played match down the stretch. Hedwall is now 3 0 for the week.
MATCH 10 Lewis Creamer (US) def. Munoz Icher 1 up
Epic match that produced 12 birdies. Europe went a six hole stretch where it birdied five holes but it butchered the last hole to hand the Americans the point.
MATCH 11 Matthew Masson (E) halved Lincicome Salas
Feels like more of a loss for the Americans who were 2 up at several points during the match including on the 16th hole. Europe won the last two holes for the halve.
MATCH 12 Wie Lang (US) def. Pettersen Recari 2 and 1
Wie made the winning putt on the 17th hole and is 2 0 so far this week. She and Lang handed Pettersen her first loss of the week moving to 2 1.
FRIDAY FOURBALLS EUROPE 2 U.S. 2
MATCH 5 Pettersen Ciganda (E) def. Lewis Thompson 1 up
Europe won but the story here is that Lewis lost both her matches on the first day. Some things just defy explanation. Lewis and Thompson failed to make a birdie in the last nine holes.
MATCH 6 Masson Hedwall (E) def. Stanford Piller 2 and 1
This was a good match with good golf but Masson and Hedwall were unflappable down the stretch to hold on. Stanford and Piller put up a valiant effort in defeat.
MATCH 7 Lincicome Lang (US) def. Nordqvist Sergas 4 and 3
Nordqvist and Sergas only birdied one hole and never were in the match from there. The long hitting Brittanys cruised and closed the match with consecutive birdies.
MATCH 8 Kerr Wie (US) def. Matthew Hull 2 and 1
Michelle Wie looked like the Michelle Wie of old and made five birdies. She and Kerr paired well together and even though the score looked close they seemed in control.
FRIDAY FOURSOMES EUROPE 3 U.S. 1
MATCH 1 Nordqvist Hedwall (E) def. Lewis Salas 4 and 2
Nordqvist Hedwall was a terrific alternate shot pairing hitting numerous fairways and greens while Lewis was surprisingly shaky and Salas was surprisingly steady.
MATCH 2 Pettersen Recari (E) def. Lang Stanford 2 and 1
Early momentum continued for Europe. The match was fairly good golf the difference was a late bogey from the U.S. and a late birdie from Europe.
MATCH 3 Pressel Korda (US) def. Matthew Ewart Shadoff 3 and 2
Unlike the previous match this was shaggy golf. Europe made four bogeys and a lone birdie and the U.S. made two birdies and two bogeys to cruise.
MATCH 4 Munoz Icher (E) def. Kerr Creamer 2 and 1
Surprise surprise. Munoz Icher easily took down America s strongest duo. The difference was a three hole stretch (8 10) where Europe made three birdies all with putts of 20 feet or longer.
