Back on the tee, the strains of Club Tropicana by Wham! ripples out as Alison Lee and Lauren Coughlin arrive for match two. A disclaimer: drinks at Bernardus are not free.

Lee splits the 1st fairway with her opening drive, but Boutier hooks nervously into thick heather down the left. Trouble there. Koertz Madsen might not even have much of a swing, the ball sitting down, near a tree. 5m ago06.53 BSTCorpuz goes close with her 20-foot birdie opportunity, but the ball sticks stubbornly on the lip. No shame in an opening par, but it’s not good enough for Team USA, because Woad calmly rolls in her putt, and what a way to announce yourself on your Solheim Cup debut! Farnham’s finest smiles warmly and saunters off in her trademark no-fuss style. Europe wasting no time at all! 8m ago06.50 BSTKorda and Corpuz have a perfect record in Solheim foursomes.

Charley Hull and Lottie Woad follow soon after. More of the noise and bedlam. A party atmosphere in the stands. The 2026 Solheim Cup is about to happen! 24m ago06.35 BSTA reminder of the formatFor the benefit of folk who fancy following events at Bernardus this weekend but don’t always keep tabs on the greatest sport in the world, we usually cut and paste the following explainer.
