The United States split the afternoon Four-Ball matches 2-2, but after getting blasted 3.5 to 0.5 in the morning Foursomes matches, the USA will enter Sunday down by three points, 5.5 to 2.5.

It wasn’t as bad as it looks, though. Europe won all three of its Foursomes matches 1 up, meaning each went 18 holes.

Europe’s star was Ireland’s Leona Maguire, who first teamed with veteran Mel Reid of England in morning Foursomes to beat world No. 1 Nelly Korda and sister Jessica Korda, 1 up.

The 26-year old then paired with a second Brit in Georgia Hall to earn another 1-up victory over USA’s Yealimi Noh and Brittany Altomare in the afternoon Four-Ball format.

“Trying to stay as calm as possible,” said Maguire, “Soak it all in. It’s been good.”
