Jennifer Kupcho gives her birdie putt a good roll, but it turns to the left on its last couple of rotations, and Maja Stark is told to pick up her coin. Europe get some blue on the board at last!

That’s the beauty of golf, ladies and gentlemen!

Esther Henseleit stands over her downhill right-to-left slider on 16 … and overhits it, taking out most of the break and sending her ball four feet past. It’s still Europe’s honour, and Charley Hull tidies up to force Allisen Corpuz into making her birdie putt if the USA are to close this out here. She sizes it up, and … it’s never missing! Korda and Corpuz win the last three holes of the match to register a 3&2 victory. Talk about hitting form at exactly the right time!

For the benefit of folk who fancy getting up on the downswing this weekend but don’t always follow the greatest sport in the world, we usually cut and paste the following explainer. Hey, if it’s worth reading once, it’s worth reading a dozen times. Here we go …

The Solheim Cup is a matchplay event. Each match is worth a point. There are 28 points available over the three days, so the first team to get to 14.5 points will win the Cup. Should the scores be tied at 14 points apiece, Europe will retain the trophy as current holders.

Match-play explained for those dipping their toe into the murky world of golf for the first time: In common-or-garden championship golf, such as the Evian or the British Open, tournaments are scored using the stroke-play system. Whoever takes the fewest shots over all four rounds in a championship wins. All shots count and are added up for a cumulative total. So if, say, in next year’s Dinah Shore (Chevron Championship-speak for hipsters), Nelly Korda shoots 63-63-63-63 and Georgia Hall shoots 87-87-87-87, Nelly will have taken 252 strokes, and beaten Georgia by 96 shots. (Good luck if you bet large on this exact outcome.)

Anyway, in match play, each player or team wins a hole for every hole they better their opponents. So if Nelly takes five shots at the 1st, but Georgia needs only three, Georgia goes 1up. If Georgia wins the next hole too, she’s 2up. If the pair share the same number of shots on the 3rd, the hole is halved, and Georgia remains 2up. It doesn’t matter if Nelly took 13 shots on her way to losing the 2nd, by the way; a bit like the unwritten rule of visits to wallet-sewer-interface-venue Las Vegas, what happens on each hole stays on each hole. There is no knock-on effect.

So let’s say Hall wins the first nine holes of our make-believe match. With nine played, and nine remaining, she is 9up. Nelly can only tie at best; Hall can’t lose. This is known as dormie. (And more specifically, in this slightly ludicrous example, as dormie nine.) If Nelly wins the next nine, the game will end all square, and each team will get half a point to their overall total. But if Georgia wins the 10th, she’s 10up with eight holes to play. She has won 10&8. If the 10th hole is halved, Georgia would be 9up with eight to play. She’s won 9&8. Similarly Nelly can be said to have lost 9&8. Europe would add a point to their overall total. I’ve probably made this sound way more complicated than it needs to be, but there it is anyway.

There will be three types of match: foursomes (teams of two players use one ball, taking alternate shots); fourballs (teams of two players play a ball each and take the best score, known as the better ball); and singles (this is when it gets quite wild and everyone across two continents starts with the shallow breathing and chest clutching). And these matches are arranged in a schedule like this:

Today: four matches of morning foursomes; four matches of afternoon fourballs.
Tomorrow: four matches of morning foursomes; four matches of afternoon fourballs.

… there’s really no need to unnecessarily expend energy by bigging this up. And yet we still can, because look at the opening match, which features the world number-one and the most in-form player on Europe’s team! “It’s nice to get Charley [Hull] going, she doesn’t like to take a seat round and wait,” says Europe captain Suzann Pettersen, and you may be fairly positive Nelly Korda is of the same mindset. So that is taking place from the get-go. Leona Maguire, Georgia Corridor, Megan Khang and swansinging living-legend Lexi Thompson are ready within the wings as properly, amongst many others. That is going to be a blast. Right here we go, women and gents. It’s on!
