Kupcho and Salas both have chances to win 15 from the fringe, eight feet from the hole. The former elects to chip, the latter to putt. Neither make it, and the hole is tied. Meanwhile on 16, Ewing makes a missable six-footer for par to halve that hole too. And on 14, Castren holes a snaking right-to-left-and-back-again birdie putt from 30 feet. The hole would secure a 5&4 win … but Thompson then rakes home a 25-footer for birdie to extend the match! It’s dormie four, but the Americans are still fighting!

Sky Sports talk to a Solheim Cup official, who clears up the rules brouhaha. “When Nelly hit her putt, and it got up towards the hole, it got so close to being in the hole that we determined that it was actually overhanging. And when the ball overhangs the hole, an opponent has to allow her opponent reasonable time to get up to the hole, then another ten seconds to see if that ball falls into the hole. That didn’t happen, so when the European player picked up the ball, per the rules of golf it was pretty cut and dried. It didn’t give her enough time. It was pretty clear cut.”
