The biggest battle in the female golf world is happening right now. The biennial event, the Solheim Cup, is taking place at the Finca Cortesín in Málaga, Spain. The best athletes in the world are competing on the same pitch to win the coveted cup.
Only these few golfers will decide whether Europe or the United States will hold the Cup in three days, based on their abilities. The level of anxiety and stress these golfers go through is unimaginable. And in these tense situations, there is nothing worse than the opposite team. You would scarcely see a moment of humility in such a cutthroat game. But Allisen Corpuz is of a different breed.

For the four-ball match on Friday, the rookie, Allisen Corpuz, was paired with Jennifer Kupcho and faced off against Emily Kristine Pedersen and Maja Stark. While all seemed to be going well for Team USA, on the 12th hole, Pedersen pulled off a feat so amazing that the whole crowd got riled up, including Team USA!
Trailing 1-down to Team USA, Pedersen shot an ace on the 12th hole. With that remarkable strike, she holed only the second hole-in-one in the history of the Solheim Cup. Her ace also evened out the lead Kupcho and Corpuz had taken; however, the latter was nothing but graceful on the course.
As Pedersen jumped and stood in disbelief moments after her hole-in-one, she ran and hugged her caddie. And as Team Europe celebrated, even though the shot meant bad news for the Americans, Corpuz was nothing but classy as she high-fived Pedersen for her amazing feat!

With this small gesture, Corpuz made sure the celebration of the master stroke was more important than their rivalry. And another US team member’s relaxed demeanor on the course made the competition more relaxed.
