Boys Ranch andBringing Hopeto Single Moms By Kurt KRAGTHORPE The Salt Lake Tribune THE ASSOCIATED PRrEss LODDEKOPINGE, Sweden Annika Sorenstam and Suzann Pettersen denied the Americans anotherrally Saturday, each makingbirdies on the final two holes for a 1-up victory that gave Europea three-point lead entering the final round ofthe Solheim Cup. In a spectacular conclusion to a day when emotions started to run high, the United States was poised to take three offour better-ball matches,just as it had done Friday to keepthe scoreclose. It all unraveledonthefinal two holes. With Laura Diaz already having birdied the 17th, Sorenstam rolled in a 20-foot putt from the fringe. When the putt dropped, she leaped so high that she lost controlof her putter. With the matchall square goingto the18th, Diaz again came through in the clutch, but only momentarily. Shehit her approach to 4 feet while Sorenstam followed with a shot within 6 feet. Pettersen, the only player who hasn’t lost a match at Barseback x0lf & Country Club, was 15 feet away. Kelly Robbins wason the otherside ofthe green, 50 feet away, meaning it was the Americans’ turn to putt. They elected to have Diaz go first, with hopes she would make the putt and apply enor mous pressure on Kurope. But Diaz badly pulled her putt, and Pettersen started charging across the green before her putt even got to the hole. When it dropped, about 15,000 fans roared and Pettersen leapt into Sorenstam’s arms. Across the green, Diaz wept as her husband consoled her. That gave the Europeansasplit of the better-ball matches, and because they again dominatedin the alternate-shot matches Saturday morning, they take a 94-6 lead with 12 singles matches today.
