Solheim Cup Singles matches and tee times

Sep 23, 2023

The tee times and matches for the singles of the Solheim Cup have been announced.

After a terrible start to the weekend, Europe have fought back from 4-0 down on Friday morning to level the scores at 8-8.

The all important matches for Sunday have been revealed, with Sweden’s Linn Grant leading the Europeans out against Megan Khang at 11:10am (CET).

Solheim Cup rookie Rose Zhang will take on Leona Maguire in the second match, in one of the blockbuster ties of the day.

Home favourite Carlota Ciganda will be kept until the penultimate contest. She will take on former World No.1 Nelly Korda.

The last match will see Denmark’s Emily Kristine Pedersen, who has taken three points from four matches so far, take on American stalwart Lexi Thompson. They will go out at 1:22pm (CET)

Could fatigue be a problem for Team Europe?

All 24 players will take to the course on Sunday to decide who wins the Solheim Cup.

However, only Europe will have players who will have played in all five sessions across the week.

Linn Grant, Leona Maguire and Emily Kristine Pedersen have been a feature in every session so far.

Maguire did exactly this two years ago, when she broke the record for the most points earned by a rookie in either the Solheim Cup or Ryder Cup. She earned 4.5 points from her five matches at the Inverness Club in Ohio.

This time round, though, three of her matches have gone to the 18th hole. Finca Cortesin is notoriously hilly, and we could see this come into effect on Sunday afternoon.

Meanwhile, all 12 members of the American side have sat out at least one session.

This could certainly play a part, not only for the physical fitness, but the mental fitness which is required for such a strenuous competition.

Mention a European country, and Matt will tell you which resorts make the National Club Golfer Top 100s: European Resorts list. He might even throw in who designed the golf course and how many rooms the hotel has got at each one…

Matt got into the game of golf from a young age, following his old man to the local golf club. He fell for the sport, and now can’t seem to go a day without thinking about how to improve his game (Thanks Dad!). Matt has been a member of Howley Hall GC in Leeds since 2020, and is just about managing to maintain a single-figure handicap. He likes to remind people that he once broke 75, but won’t tell people that it was on a shortened course during the winter.

He moved to Leeds after graduating from the University of Central Lancashire with a First Class Honours degree in Sports Journalism. Matt joined NCG after almost five years travelling the world with the Professional Squash Association, working on events in all four corners of the globe.

Matt currently plays a Cobra King LTDx driver and RadSpeed 3-wood. TaylorMade monopolise the rest of his bag, with a SIM UDI, M5 irons and both Milled Grind and HI-TOE wedges, along with a Monza Redline putter. He uses a Vice Pro Plus golf ball, because he’s a bit different…

Away from golf, Matt is a Manchester United fan, and a keen runner, having ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon (his first and possibly last), in May 2023.
