The U.S. snapped its Solheim Cup slump thanks to this genius strategy
The United States ended its Solheim Cup drought in dramatic fashion, thanks to a strategic move that caught Europe off guard.
Team captain Stacy Lewis opted to sit world No. 1 Nelly Korda in favor of a lesser-known player, Jennifer Kupcho, for Sunday’s final singles match. Kupcho, who had never led off in a Solheim Cup match, famously defeated Europe’s best-ranked player, Matilda Castren, 2&1, securing a 15-13 victory for the Americans.
