Updates from the final day of action in VirginiaWhy not write to Scott with your thoughts
“Medinah. The miracle of Medinah. It’s coming!” The words there of Carlota Ciganda as she closed out her and Emily Pedersen’s 2&1 win over Lexi Thompson and Ally Ewing yesterday evening. Well, as far as Europe are concerned, it better be. What a tall order. But at least the omens are good, because Europe were 10-4 down in the 2012 Ryder Cup on Saturday afternoon with two matches left out on the course, and reduced the arrears to 10-6 ahead of the Sunday singles, which is exactly what the Europeans did yesterday when things were threatening to go seriously south at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia. So let’s remember what happened after that Ryder Cup comeback 12 years ago …
… but while Ciganda brought that one up, it’d be a shocking dereliction of duty not to point out that the Solheim Cup has one of these Sunday stunners of its own. In 2015, at St Leon-Rot in Germany, Europe held a 10-6 lead going into the singles, only to capitulate to an 8½-3½ defeat and a 14½-13½ loss overall.
