All hail the Captain!

A lot of credit for this historic feat goes to the captain, Stacy Lewis. And not it’s not us being cliched. She did outshine herself in preparing the extraordinary players for a splendid showdown on foreign soil. Her strategic pairing came through, so much so that even England’s favorite Charley Hull, in the company of Emily Pedersen, came a cropper against Ally Ewing and Cheyenne Knight.

Golfweek’s Adam Woodard took to Twitter and explained how this is a massive first for the Americans. The Americans never before won foursomes 4-0, despite having won the event 10 times.

The pairing of Ewing and Cheyenne Knight opened the account for their team. And Lexi Thompson paired with Megan Khang followed the dance to bag another point for their country. As if participating in a relay race where one player hands over the baton to another, Danielle Kang and Andrea Lee then took their cues and made it 3-0 for the visitors.

And finally the duo of Nelly Korda and Allisen Corpuz whose win made the history for US. They clean swept the Europeans, achieving a famous 4-0 lead. The start to the hallowed event proves America is there to win the Solheim Cup and their captain is determined to leave with new records.
