Scotty Scheffler emerged as the frontrunner, according to experts and sportsbooks, with his stellar performance remaining a decisive factor as the tournament progresses.
Team USA’s Nelly Korda and Lexi Thompson defeated Team Europe’s Jodi Ewart Shadoff and Anna Nordqvist, 2 and 1, in the opening four-ball match of the 2021 Solheim Cup.
It was a strong start for the U.S., which is looking to regain the Cup after losing to Europe in 2019. Korda and Thompson are two of the top players in the world, and they showed why on Friday with a dominant performance.
The U.S. team has a 6-2 lead after Friday afternoon, putting them in the driving seat heading into the weekend.
