American Cristie Kerr made history as the United States retained a three-point lead at the Solheim Cup when they split the morning foursomes matches against Europe on Day 2 on Saturday.
Both sides won two matches, leaving the US ahead — 7-1/2 to 4-1/2 — heading into the afternoon four-ball contests at Des Moines Golf & Country Club. The American duo of Kerr and Lexi Thompson got the US off to a winning start on Saturday morning, thrashing Carolina Masson and Jodi Ewart Shadoff 5&3, with Europe winning only one hole.
In the process, the 39-year-old Kerr passed American captain Juli Inkster for the most points in US Solheim Cup history with 18. Kerr also now has the most match wins in American history with 16. — Reuters
