Jennifer Kupcho Produces Stunning Finish to Leave US and Europe Level at 8-8
Kupcho drained a 91-foot birdie putt and another from the green’s edge as the United States recovered from a two-point deficit.
On Saturday, Jennifer Kupcho led the United States back to an 8-8 tie against Europe at the Solheim Cup in the Netherlands after a riveting second day of competition at Bernardus Golf.
Europe established a significant lead during Saturday's morning session, with Maja Stark and Linn Grant defeating Allisen Corpuz and Nelly Korda 3&2 before Leona Maguire and Esther Henseleit beat Kupcho and Rose Zhang.
Zhang and Auston Kim defeated Nastasia Nadaud and Maguire in the afternoon, while Alison Lee and Lauren Coughlin overwhelmed Charley Hull and Lottie Woad 6&5 in a dominant performance.
Kupcho's 91-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole brought her and teammate Lindy Duncan level against Carlota Ciganda and Celine Boutier, forcing a draw that prevented Europe from holding the lead.
The teams remain locked at 8-8 heading into Sunday Singles at Bernardus Golf, with both the United States and Europe positioned equally for the decisive final day of competition.
