Anna Nordqvist insists Charley Hull’s game is ‘right where it needs to be’ and has kept faith in the Englishwoman by sending her out first for Team Europe in the Sunday singles at Bernardus Golf. Hull has only returned 0.5 points from the four matches but will lead out Europe for the second successive Solheim Cup, two years on from thrashing Nelly Korda 6&4 at the same stage. The Solheim Cup veteran partnered Woad to two defeats on Saturday, suffering the joint-biggest foursomes defeat in history with a 6&5 thrashing by Alison Lee and Lauren Coughlin before a final-hole loss to Yealimi Noh and Andrea Lee.

Nordqvist having full faith in her Solheim Cup veteran to bounce back from a frustrating first two days. "Charley started us out in Washington (2024 Solheim Cup) and we know all that Charley's been playing great for the last two days," Nordqvist explained. "She really hasn't holed any putts. I watched her match today, this afternoon, for quite a few holes and she's right there where she needs to be." "It's just that little bit of momentum (she needs), that we all know is so important in the matches. I have full confidence in her going out tomorrow and I don't think she really has anything to prove, because we know all of what a great player she is.".
