Sweden finished tied with Team USA in their second match, despite winning Pool A. Maja Stark and Madelene Sagstrom converted a 4 foot birdie on the last hole to tie the match with Lexi Thompson & Danielle Kang.
Stark said, “I liked it because I felt like they were mad.” “And that’s funny,” he added of the finish. I really wanted to make the putt. It’s not something I’ve felt before, because everything was about me. But now, I do it to help my team and Sweden. It’s nice to be able come in clutch at the end.
Team USA, the 2016 winners of this event, finished second in pool A and advanced as the fourth team.
Thailand is the only team that hasn’t dropped a game in three days. They finished with six points and lead Pool B. Australia, on the other hand, was second to make it out of this pool.
Patty Tavatanakit, referring to Thailand’s perfect record, said “We played well.” “We deserve it.”
