Solheim Cup to begin with Korda vs Hull matchup. Teams say there's 'no bad blood'
It has been fun and games this week for the European and American teams ahead of the first Solheim Cup held in the Netherlands but the serious stuff is about to begin. It promises to be an explosive start to the Friday foursomes with Match 1 seeing Europe’s top two players, Charley Hull and Lottie Woad, going up against a U.S. pairing containing top-ranked Nelly Korda. The Americans are looking to keep the trophy they regained two years ago.
U.S. captain Angela Stanford was almost reduced to tears at an opening ceremony on Thursday that saw European captain Anna Nordqvist urge her players to “be brave, play with heart, play for each other."
