2024 Solheim Cup Friday afternoon fourball scores: U.S. wins three matches, leads 6-2 overall

The 2024 Solheim Cup started out in heavy favor of the host Americans, who raced out to a 3-0 start with three straight 3-and-2 victories.

The morning foursomes ended with the U.S. squad holding a 3-1 advantage. After a short break, the afternoon fourball pairings were announced and the golfers were back on the course at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia, near the nation’s capitol.

The duo Nelly Korda and Megan Khang were the first ones out in fourballs and made quick work of the European tandem of Georgia Hall and Leona Maguire.

The U.S. pair was 5 up through eight holes, got it to 6 up through 12 and went on to win it 6 and 4 after a Nelly Korda eagle putt on the 14th hole.
