09/15/2007 - Halmstad, Sweden (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Heavy wind gusts of 40 mph forced tournament officials to delay the start of the Saturday foursomes matches at the Solheim Cup.
The wind knocked over signs, tents and even some trees at Halmstad Golfclub and players were told not to come out to the course.
The start of the foursomes has been pushed back a little over two hours to 4:15 a.m. (et) Saturday morning.
The United States owns a 4 1/2 - 3 1/2 lead, but the European team made a battle of it late Friday in the fourballs. Annika Sorenstam and Maria Hjorth won the last to halve their match against Stacy Prammanasudh and Angela Stanford, but the real heroics were left up to the old Solheim Cup veteran.
Laura Davies is the only player to compete in all 10 Solheim Cups and she and Trish Johnson were 1-down to American youngsters, Paula Creamer and Morgan Pressel, whose combined ages do not equal in the individual age of either European player.
At the par-three 16th, Davies hit the worst shot of the group into some bushes. She whacked her second shot over the green, but chipped in for a miraculous par that won the hole and squared the match.
"It was hit and hope," Davies said of her chip from the brush on 16. "Thirty- six handicapper shot. It worked out."
She narrowly missed a birdie putt at the 17th, then pitched her third to four feet at the last. Johnson lagged a 65-foot birdie putt to three feet. When Pressel and Creamer both missed birdie tries, they were conceded par.
Due to waning daylight, the U.S. pair showed sportsmanship and conceded Johnson her three-foot par putt to end the match in a halve.
"It was just really nice that they realized it was a good match and they conceded the putt," Davies said of her much younger opponents. "I thought that was top class, I really did."
There are four fourball matches scheduled for Saturday afternoon. Since play barely finished in light on Friday with no delays, it is expected that the fourball matches will need to completed on Sunday before the 12 singles matches.

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.
Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.
Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.
Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.
All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.
A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
