Summary
Charley Hull and Lottie Woad reached Sunday singles without a single full point, becoming the first Solheim Cup pairing to play four pre-singles matches and earn less than one point.
The English duo took only a half-point from four sessions after a 6-and-5 foursomes loss to Lauren Coughlin and Alison Lee and a 1-down fourballs defeat to Yealimi Noh and Andrea Lee.
Anna Nordqvist kept Hull and Woad together in all four Friday-Saturday matches despite earlier failures, drawing scrutiny because the pairing had been Europe’s stated "Plan A."
The record is especially stark because Woad and Hull arrived ranked seventh and eighth in the world and were Europe’s highest-ranked players.
Europe still enters the final-day singles tied 8-8 with the United States, leaving little margin for error if it is to recover from the pair’s collapse.
