European fightback stuns Americans

EUROPE reeled in a rampant American side with a stunning comeback and claimed the opening series of foursomes 3-1 in the Solheim Cup at Crooked Stick in Carmel, Indiana, yesterday.

The defending champions looked set to suffer a crushing defeat when the Americans took control of three of the four matches entering the final stretch.

But the series ended with the home side not managing one full point.
