PARKER, Colo. -- For nearly a half-hour, the Europeans joined rules officials in a hunt for a golf ball and a place to drop it while the Americans paced around impatiently, looking for answers that never quite came. Fans that had been chanting "USA! USA!" started shouting "While were young! While were young!" After that strange scene at the Solheim Cup played out Friday, Spanish rookie Carlota Ciganda dropped a 15-foot putt to halve the 15th hole in her match against Stacy Lewis and Lexi Thompson. It gave the Europeans the momentum for a win in that match, which spurred them to a 5-3 lead after a wacky Day 1 at Colorado Golf Club. "Obviously, we were extremely happy with that," European captain Liselotte Neumann said. Cigandas victory with Suzann Pettersen was still being dissected well after sundown when rules officials, after looking at replays, conceded they had made the wrong call during that 25-minute-plus delay on the 15th hole. Nothing they could do about it after the fact, however, so the result stood. Lewis, who spent the delay pacing, stretching, bending, trying to stay loose, was livid. "Im very frustrated by the situation," she said. "I think there were a lot of things that went wrong within the ruling." As much as the ruling, she and captain Meg Mallon were frustrated with the amount of time it took. When the Lewis foursome -- the first out for Friday afternoons best-ball matches -- reached the 15th tee box, they were nearly two holes ahead of the next group. By the time they putted out, there were three groups stacked up on the par-5 hole. The group behind, Angela Stanford and Gerina Piller, had just made their third straight birdie to close their deficit against Caroline Hedwall and Caroline Masson to one. They didnt win another hole and fell 2 and 1. "Heres my team sitting there, after they are just charging and making a comeback, and then they have to sit," Mallon said. "And so, not only does it change the psyche of my team, but it changes the psyche of the other team, because they can have time to regroup." Farther back on the course, Brittany Lang chipped in from the bunker on 14 to give the Americans a momentum-proof, 3-up lead en route to a 4-and-3 victory over Anna Nordqvist and Giulia Sergas. In the days last match, Michelle Wie, a controversial captains pick, teamed with Cristie Kerr for a 2-and-1 win over Catriona Matthew and Charley Hull. The Americans got their only point of the morning alternate-shot matches from Morgan Pressel and rookie Jessica Korda. Korda hit her very first Solheim Cup shot straight down the middle, then walked to the edge of the fairway to throw up. Moments later, she nailed an approach on the par-5 to 8 feet and the U.S. was ahead. "I cant explain what happened," Korda said. "I just knew that the banana did not sit." Europe is trying to retain the cup and win for the first time on U.S. soil. The team that has held the first-day lead has gone on to win nine of 11 times. "Not awful," Mallon called the first-day deficit. "But we would like to be in better position, and hopefully, we can get all that back tomorrow." In Saturdays alternate-shot matches, Mallon is putting Pressel and Korda out first against Anna Nordqvist and Caroline Hedwall. On Friday morning, Nordqvist and Hedwall opened for Europe and defeated Lewis and Lizette Salas 4 and 2. Neumann, meanwhile, will keep a winning combination together Saturday, sending Azahara Munoz and Karine Icher out against Lewis and Paula Creamer. On Friday, Munoz and Icher strung together 15-foot-plus birdie putts on 8, 9 and 10 to take an insurmountable lead in a 2-and-1 victory over the Kerr and Creamer, handing that power pairing their first loss as a team in four tries. "It was great to win this match and I think I found a friend forever," Icher said. Other pairings Saturday: Matthew and Caroline Masson against Brittany Lincicome and Salas; and Pettersen and Beatriz Recari against Wie and Lang. Ciganda will get the morning off after working her heart out Friday afternoon. She played from the scrub and the trees through most of the back nine, but made some of her best shots from there, as well. Her approach on the 13th from the scrub to 4 feet set up a birdie putt that drew the match even. Then, there was the 15-foot make from the fringe after the 25-minute delay on No. 15. Talk about a game-changer. "That completely turned things," Lewis said. "The good news is, were only two points down." Adidas Superstar Wholesale Uk .

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. -- Angel Yin was asked if there was a player she wanted to meet this week at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, but was too shy to approach. "Michelle Wie," said Yin, the 15-year-old high school freshman who shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday to finish a stroke behind her idol after the first round. "If she sat next to me and said Hi to me, Id probably run." The 24-year-old Wie laughed when told about Yins response. "Its crazy," Wie said. "These girls are starting to make me feel really old." Wie played a four-hole stretch in 5 under, showing off all the talent that made her a star in her early teens and helped attract players like Yin to golf. "I just felt comfortable out there," Wie said. Wie ended up a stroke behind leader Shanshan Feng, lipping out a 3-foot par putt on the par-3 17th and settling for par and a 67 on the par-5 18th. "Ill take it," Wie said. "Ill take a 67 here." Feng shot a 66 in perfect morning conditions at Mission Hills in the first major championship of the year. The 24-year-old Chinese player had seven birdies and a bogey. "This morning, it was playing easier because there was no wind," Feng said. Wie birdied the par-5 ninth and par-4 10th, made a 25-foot eagle putt on the par-5 11th and moved into a tie for the lead with a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-4 12th. She got up-and-down for par from near a steep face in a bunker on the par-4 15th, hitting to 1 1/2 feet with her left foot almost 2 feet above her right. "Just was aggressive on the holes I needed to be and conservative on the other holes," Wie said Wie is making her 12th start in the tournament. She was ninth in 2003 at age 13, fourth the following year and tied for third at 16 in 2006. "I think when youre younger youre kind of fearless," Wie said. "You dont know what failure is." Wie has two LPGA Tour victories, winning the 2009 Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Mexico and the 2010 Canadian Womens Open. She has been in the top 16 in all five of her starts this year, finishing a season-best fourth in Thailand. "Im so grateful to have rounds like these," Wie said. Feng won the 2012 LPGA Championship to become the tours first Chinese winner and had two victoriies late last year.dddddddddddd. She tied for 16th last week in the Kia Classic. "The beginning of this year I was kind of a little lost because I lost a little weight and my swing kind of changed a little," Feng said. "I wasnt swinging very comfortably." Paired with 58-year-old Hall of Famer Amy Alcott, Feng rebounded from a bogey on 15 with a birdie on par-4 16th and closed with two pars. "I made a bogey on 15, and she was like, OK, lets make two birdies back in the last three holes," Feng said. "I was like, Yes, maam. Then I only made one." Alcott shot an 81 in her 36th start in the event she won in 1983, 1988 and 1991. In 1988, she became the first player to take the now-traditional victory leap into Poppies Pond. "She was very sweet starting off and we were talkative," Alcott said. "She hits it very solid. Just a very, very talented young player." Se Ri Pak birdied her final hole to match Wie at 67. The 36-year-old Pak won the last of her five major titles in 2006. "Just a solid round," Pak said. "The greens got a little firmer, but I got pretty good distance control." Yin, from the Los Angeles suburb of Arcadia, was another stroke back with Amy Yang. The long hitter also played the event last year, tying for 55th. "I think this course suits me really well," Yin said. Yin missed the cut last week in the Kia Classic in Carlsbad, shooting 83-72 after earning a spot in the field as a Monday qualifier. "I got really nervous," Yin said. "The first hole I picked up the ball on the fringe and got penalized." Anna Nordqvist, the winner in Carlsbad for her second victory of the year, opened with a 71. Playing partner Stacy Lewis, the 2011 winner, had a 73. Lewis struggled off the tee, hitting drives to the right. "If I can straighten out my driver Ill be right there," Lewis said. Sixteen-year-old Lydia Ko and Hall of Famer Karrie Webb, also a two-time winner this year, were in the group at 73, and defending champion Inbee Park had a 74. Park is struggling with her putting after dominating on the greens last year when she swept the first three majors and won six times. "The opportunities I had, I didnt make the putts," Park said.
