Was Hull & Woad pairing right call as Europe & US end level with singles to play?

Should Europe fail to reach the 14½ points they require to win the Solheim Cup on Sunday questions will surely be asked of captain Anna Nordqvist's faith in Charley Hull and Lottie Woad as a pairing.

Was Hull & Woad pairing right call as Europe & US end level with singles to play?

Europe finds itself tied at 8-8 with the United States as the Solheim Cup final day approaches. In light of this, questions are likely to arise regarding captain Anna Nordqvist's selection of Charley Hull and Lottie Woad as a pairing. The duo has only managed to secure half a point from their four matches so far. Despite initial optimism, Hull and Woad were soundly defeated by the US pair of Megan Khang and Lauren Coughlin in the morning foursomes.

However, the Swedish pair of Maja Stark and Linn Grant managed to turn the tide, triumphing 2&1 against Megan Khang and Lauren Coughlin in the afternoon fourballs. This victory put Europe ahead 7-5, bolstered by impressive performances from rookies Mimi Rhodes and Nastasia Nadaud. While Nordqvist defended her choice of Hull and Woad, citing their status as the best players in the world, the decision appears to have been a risky one given the outcome.
