Redemption day. Woad guarantees Team Europe’s Solheim Cup victory after Hull wins the opener

Europe's top pairing of Lottie Woad and Charley Hull are still winless at the Solheim Cup after four sessions. They have been paired together for every session so far, a first for the women's team event. According to Yahoo Sports, Captain Anna Nordqvist defended her decision to keep them paired, saying they played solid and that Lottie Woad made six birdies in the afternoon session on day one.

The duo suffered a 6-and-5 loss to Alison Lee and Lauren Coughlin, which matched the record for the biggest margin of defeat in a Solheim Cup foursomes match, as reported by Yahoo Sports. They also lost their four-ball match against Yealimi Noh and Andrea Lee on Saturday afternoon, 1 up.

Their struggles have been highlighted by other performances, with Carlota Ciganda reportedly stealing the show on day one, according to BBC Sport. Overall, Woad and Hull have managed only half a point from their first three matches, Golf.com reported.
