U.S. women lead Solheim Cup

10:04 PM CDT on Friday, August 21, 2009

Associated Press

SUGAR GROVE, Ill. – Paula Creamer made a 20-footer Friday afternoon to give the United States a 4 ½-3 ½ lead at the Solheim Cup and make Julie Inkster the highest-scoring U.S. player in the event's history. The 49-year-old has scored 17 ½ points, one more than Meg Mallon, now an assistant captain for the U.S. team.

"That just means I'm the oldest," Inkster joked after her and Creamer's 2-and-1 foursome victory over Catriona Matthew and Janice Moodie.

Only Europe's Annika Sorenstam (24 points) and Laura Davies (23) have scored more points than Inkster in Solheim Cup play.

The Americans led by 1 ½ points after the morning fourball matches. Michelle Wie in her only match of the day, teamed with Morgan Pressel to halve Matthew and Maria Hjorth.
