At the Solheim Cup in Den Bosch, Netherlands, world No. 1 Nelly Korda is sitting out the four-balls match on Saturday, continuing a trend where she plays only four out of five possible matches since 2019. This decision comes despite her status as a top player and four-time major champion. In Saturday morning’s session, Korda played with Allisen Corpuz but lost to Maja Stark and Linn Grant, bringing her record in the current cup to 1-1-1 for 1.5 points. U.S. captain Angela Stanford confirmed that there was never an intention to play Korda in all five matches, while Lauren Coughlin is the only American scheduled to compete in every session. The European team currently leads with a score of 7-5 after three sessions.
