Europe rallies to pull even with U.S. at 8-8 going into final day of Solheim Cup

Europe picked up the pace at the Solheim Cup on Saturday in Casares, Spain, pulling even with the United States at 8-8 after splitting the morning foursome matches and winning the afternoon fourballs.

The contest will be decided by the 12 singles matches on Sunday, when Europe will try to win an unprecedented third straight Solheim Cup. The Europeans arrived as favourites but had to come from behind after the Americans took a 4-0 lead in Friday's first session.

The U.S. kept its two-point lead from the first day after the teams split the morning session on Saturday, but Europe was in control during most of the afternoon and ended up winning it 3-1.

"I'm out of words, but we have to remember we are not there yet, there are still 12 points up for grabs tomorrow," Europe captain Suzann Pettersen said. "We made quite a comeback, now we are tied and we'll put it in fifth gear and keep going. If you look at how we started after yesterday's morning, we've come a long way."
