Stark and Grant took Europe's first points in the Solheim Cup

"Do our part" more specifically meant that the blue-yellow Swedish duo won their foursome match against Rose Zhang and Jennifer Kupcho with 3/2.

A match where Stark and Grant connected the grip immediately with birdies on the first three holes. Grant hit a couple of brilliant drives, Stark made the putts.

Already there, the Swedes were two holes up.

- It's always nice to start with three birdies in a row and feel that they get a lot of pressure - and we can go around and chill a bit, says Stark.

The lead grew to four as Stark and Grant continued steady, while the Americans faltered.

And when the Swedes themselves swayed heavily for the first time – on hole 9 – it still worked out. Grant sank a phenomenal bunker shot for par, which was enough for a most unexpected split of the hole.

- Great shot, that was as good as I could hit it. Glad it went in. We both had a bit of a circus until we ended up there. Then a bit of luck and a good shot and we left with par and a hole in one, says Grant.

What do you think the Americans were thinking when it went in?

- Damn it, Grant says with a laugh.

Zhang and Kupcho did bounce back from that slap and win holes 10 and 11, as it began to drizzle over Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands.

But when Zhang hit the water, Stark and Grant were able to win hole 15 – and then the blue-and-yellow duo were three holes up with just three to play.

The match was then decided on hole 16 and Europe took its first point in this year's Solheim Cup, after the Swedes did not make a single bogey in the entire round.

It was noticeable that the Swedes enjoyed playing together, after being completely split by then-captain Suzann Pettersen two years ago.

- We really go out and keep it simple, and just support each other and have a lot of fun and don't put any pressure, says Grant.

- And it's quite difficult to beat someone in foursome, who doesn't make a bogey, says Stark.

After all, Swedish captain Anna Nordqvist lets both Stark and Grant rest during the afternoon's best balls. Esther Henseleit and Leona Maguire - who arranged the second European score for 2-2 overall - are also benched by Nordqvist.

- It's a lot of fun just to go along and watch as well. So I'm really looking forward to it, says Grant.

Then everything points to her and Maja Stark playing together again when it's time for new foursome matches on Saturday morning.
