Maja Stark and Linn Grant get the chance when the Solheim Cup starts with foursome.

However, not together.

Maja Stark pairs up with the Dane Emily Pedersen, where they meet the American duo Ally Ewing/Jennifer Kupcho, starting on Friday at 13.29 Swedish time.

Linn Grant goes out twelve minutes later and plays together with Carlota Ciganda, Spain, against the world's second-ranked Lilia Vu and Sarah Schmelzel.

Anna Nordqvist and Madelene Sagström have to wait for their turn later.

After the foursome matches, four best-ball matches are also played.

The traditional match between the USA and Europe is played in Gainesville, Virginia.

The Solheim Cup begins with four foursome matches, and in the two others, the following players participate: Esther Henseleit/Charley Hull, Europe – Nelly Korda/Allisen Corpuz, USA, and Céline Boutier/Albane Valenzuela, Europe – Rose Zhang/Lauren Coughlin, USA.
