American Lauren Coughlin makes history, remains undefeated in Solheim Cup play - Golfweek

CROMVOIRT, Netherlands — Lauren Coughlin remains undefeated in the Solheim Cup with a 5-0-2 record.

The 33-year-old has compiled that record playing alongside five different teammates. In Saturday morning foursomes at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands, Coughlin teamed up with Alison Lee to record their second victory of the week, thrashing the English duo of Charley Hull and Lottie Woad, 6 and 5, tying the record for largest margin in the format.

The Americans won a stretch of six out of eight holes from Nos. 4-12 with five birdies.

Coughlin now owns the highest winning percentage, 86.7 percent, among all Solheim Cup players with at least five starts, according to Elias Sports Bureau.

"I just felt like all I did was sit in the passenger seat," said Coughlin. "I just was kind of there and participated when I could. But she made some incredible putts, incredible approaches, especially on the front nine."

Coughlin made her Solheim Cup debut two years ago in Virginia, 65 miles from where she grew up. It marked the first time the late-bloomer had represented her country for the first time.u

"I think it's just so fun having teammates, especially having a partner out there to rely on," said Coughlin. "I mean, Alison played amazing as well. She's being a little modest." 

Coughlin will be the only American player to compete in all five matches. She heads out Saturday afternoon with Megan Khang.
