Nelly Korda, Allisen Corpuz - The Canadian PressGAINESVILLE, Va. — Allisen Corpuz got lucky with a worm-burner of a fairway wood and Nelly Korda took advantage, helping the Americans thwart a potential European rally and take an 8-4 lead midway through Saturday's matches at the Solheim Cup.
They were tied again on the par-4 17th when Korda's approach rode the slope to about 5 feet for a conceded birdie, and the Americans closed out their 1-up victory with a par on the final hole. Charley Hull won her first match of the week for Europe, hitting a 300-yard-plus drive on the par-4 18th to set up a wedge to tap-in range by Esther Henseleit for a 1-up victory over Ally Ewing and Jennifer Kupcho.
