What a way to open a Solheim Cup. Europe and the United States are locked at 4-4 after an absolutely electric first day at Bernardus Golf - and it took a stunning long-range putt from Carlota Ciganda on the final hole to keep the contest level.
Let's be blunt: this is already shaping up to be one of the great Solheim Cups.
Forget the established names for a moment. Mimi Rhodes and Nastasia Nadaud announced themselves on the biggest stage with a commanding 2&1 victory over Allisen Corpuz and Auston Kim. That's how you make a debut.
Meanwhile, Ciganda paired with fellow rookie Julia Lopez Ramirez to snatch a crucial half-point from Nelly Korda and Lauren Coughlin late in the day.
Charley Hull and Lottie Woad looked dominant early, racing three holes ahead with seven to play. Yet somehow they couldn't close it out, settling for a shared point. That will sting.
Captain Anna Nordqvist raised eyebrows by keeping the same pairings for the afternoon session despite earlier losses. A 4-4 tie suggests the gamble paid off - just about.
Remarkably, this is only the second time in Solheim Cup history that the opening day has finished dead level. Saturday promises fireworks.
