Emily Pedersen made the second hole-in-one in Solheim Cup history on day one in Spain.
The Dane, one of captain Suzann Pettersen’s wildcard picks, holed it on the 12th at Finca Cortesin to turn around her fortunes.
Pedersen’s iron shot found the left side of the green and rode the contours down to the right, all the way to the bottom of the cup.

Nordqvist holed a 7-iron from 187 yards in the Saturday foursomes, playing alongside Caroline Hedwall. They defeated Paula Creamer and Morgan Pressel 2&1, with Europe going on to win 18-10.
