Lexi Thompson and Lauren Coughlin teed off in the third game of the game day and made a resonable start with a tied finish on the first hole. On the second hole, Lexi Thompson and Lauren Coughlin took the lead as Thompson drained a challenging long birdie.Since then, they have managed to maintain a marginal lead over Maja Stark and Georgia Hall. After seven holes, Thompson and Coughlin are one-up, and we can expect a cliffhanger of a finish.
This is the only game where Team USA is leading this morning, as Team Europe has maintained a significant lead in the remaining three games and are looking to make a comeback after having a poor start to the 2024 Solheim Cup on Friday.
