Emotions are running hot at the 2024 Solheim Cup, where the United States cruised out to a 6-2 lead after the opening day of play, and maintained that edge after splitting foursomes on Saturday morning.
But things really came to a boil early in the afternoon session when American Alison Lee holed out from the second fairway in her match. Lee and Megan Khang were taking on the European duo of Anna Nordqvist and Madelene Sagstrom.
After Lee dunked her shot from 86 yards away, the caddies went wild, inciting the crowd by pulling off their shirts and hugging while the fans cheered.

The two sides tied at last year’s Solheim Cup, leading to Team Europe retaining the cup. The U.S. leads the all-time series 10-7-1.
