Europe got off to a dream start at the Solheim Cup, giving up just a half-point in the opening series of four foursomes matches, including a first defeat for the Korda sisters, Jess and world number one Nelly.
It was the best result that Europe have achieved in the first series since sweeping the Americans at Loch Lomond in 2000.
For four hours there had barely been a ball width between the two teams but all that changed dramatically at the 18th at the Inverness club in Toledo, Ohio. All four matches went to the closing hole — and Europe won it each time to give the morning play a completely different complexion than had seemed likely.
