2024 Solheim Cup R2: Bad Weather to Destroy USA’s Advantage? All You Need to Know

“I saw a ton of good golf, and really things played out the way we were hoping,” said the American team Captain after having an exceptional opening day at the 2024 Solheim Cup. The team led by Stacy Lewis bagged a 3 to 1 lead in the morning foursome sessions. The team once again showed its effort in the afternoon four-ball match and bagged a 6 to 2 lead.

The Stars and Stripes team will be needing just 8.5 more points to take home the trophy, which looks pretty much a near-sighted dream. The last time they took home the trophy was back in 2017. And now, after 7 years, the home team would like to repeat their glory in the sight of a possible weather upset.

Saturday awaits heavy rain for the Solheim Cup

The second round of the Solheim Cup, just like the first one is predicted to have heavy rains through the day. The weather is predicted to go as high as 23 degrees and as low as 20 degrees. The Easterly winds will be blowing in at a speed of 18 km/h.

There will be cloud cover of 97% which might make the visibility an issue for the players. Additionally, there are high chances of rain dropping at a density of 25.7 mm, with 96% humidity. The weather, even if it does not rain will be a little difficult to deal with on Saturday. If you are planning to visit the course and watch the match live, do not forget to go prepared. Take your umbrellas and all other necessary items to keep yourself dry and safe from the cold.

The sun will be rising at 6:25 am and setting at 6:48 pm, thus it won’t be any hindrance. Nonetheless, it will be a match worth witnessing, and you are up for a great weekend if you have the tickets. If not, you can enjoy every bit of the match from the comfort of your house.
