A “let’s move on” focus was apparent in the world No.1’s pre-tournament press conference when she got in a sly joke on getting back to business while reflecting on her appreciation for her Solheim Cup teammates.
Lewis has now helped her team earn a tie in Spain in 2023 and a streak-snapping home victory this year at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, sweating out a 15½-12½ win to lift the Solheim Cup for the first time since 2017.
After losing the Solheim Cup for the first time since 2017, the European captains certainly felt the pain of defeat. But in that pain, they also found tenderness, an understanding that while the shots hit in the moment seem like everything, they’re really a piece of something more than the match at hand.
LPGA commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan met with the media on Saturday, US time, to address the shuttle transportation problems from Friday that had more fans in line to get to the Solheim Cup than on the first tee – historically one of the best experiences the sport has to offer.
At the end of a long week dominated by slow play that saw the opening two rounds both take about six hours to complete, the New Zealander reached the seven-under-par total that proved too strong for a formidable host of challengers down the stretch.
In prevailing conditions – strong winds and heavy showers – that have done nothing for the case that Scotland really does have a summer, Korda’s creative shot-making and solid putting has been extraordinary indeed.
May the Force be with you. The iconic phrase from Star Wars ran through Ayaka Furue’s mind with four holes to play in the Amundi Evian Championship as the fan of the iconic American film franchise navigated a chaotic finish in France to deliver a Kessel-run-worthy finish of five-under over her final five holes.
A long Saturday lies in wait at the Amundi Evian Championship, where Steph Kyriacou shares second place after storms hit the course on Friday and caused the second round to be suspended.
On a low scoring day full of birdies, eagles and holes-in-one, Steph Kyriacou got in on the act during a “boring” five-under round that has her two off the lead and heading the Australian contingent at the Amundi Evian Championship.
It’s early, but if the Swede happens to win she’d be eligible for Ladies European Tour membership, which would mark the third consecutive Solheim Cup where a player won tour membership to be allowed to qualify for the matches.
