USA have got off to a blistering start in the Solheim Cup – but their lead won't last long if Emily Pederson keeps her form up. <\/p>\n
The Danish star hit a stunning hole-in-one on the par-three 12th at Finca Cortes in Andalusia, Spain – becoming just the second woman to do so in the competition's 33-year history. Her pinpoint 178-yard drive landed perfectly at the tip of the green before turning, rolling down the bank and sinking in the cup, sparking jubilant scenes back at the tee.<\/p>\n
Golf fans swarmed to social media to lavish the 27-year-old with praise, with some even labelling her swing "the most beautiful" they'd ever seen. "Absolutely incredible from Emily," one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n

"The most beautiful swing," said another viewer, with others labelling her shot "crazy" and "incredible". A third commented: "Nice ace, but wow what a swing. Absolute butter."<\/p>\n
A fifth added: "Sweet strike that, effortless swing," while a sixth wrote: "Can't stop watching that swing", and another said: "Beautiful shot from an equally-beautiful player."<\/p>\n

Europe were 4-0 down to USA at the time after a clean sweep in the morning foursomes, but Pederson's hole-in-one at the start of the afternoon four-ball appeared to spark something of a fightback. Just 10 minutes later, her Swedish team-mate Linn Grant came to within inches of repeating the feat on the same hole with an almost identical shot.<\/p>\n
