After the first day of the Solheim Cup, where America delivered a clean sweep of 4-0 against Europe during the morning foursomes, Jessica Korda notably praised Leona Maguire’s matchplay skills during one of Leona Maguire’s matches.

Maguire, partnered with Anna Nordqvist, got off to a strong start by winning the first hole with a par. However, the American team, led by Nelly Korda and Bianca Pagdanganan, quickly established a two-hole lead through a series of solid performances starting from the third hole.

Maguire played a crucial role in leveling the match by sinking a pivotal seven-footer for a winning par at the seventh hole. Despite her impressive putting towards the end, the U.S. team managed to achieve a comprehensive clean sweep in the foursomes. However, Team Europe definitely won the war despite losing the battle, all thanks to Ciganda!
