Allisen Corpuz Reveals If Playing With Nelly Korda Was Worth It After Solheim Cup 2026 Win

Nelly Korda and Allisen Corpuz continue to prove they are one of the most reliable pairings in Solheim Cup history. The American duo opened the 2026 competition with another convincing foursomes victory, beating Charley Hull and rookie Lottie Woad 4&3 on Friday at Bernardus Golf. The win helped Team USA split the opening session 2-2 while extending Korda and Corpuz's perfect foursomes record.

But the victory meant more than simply putting another point on the board. Korda and Corpuz became the first pairing in Solheim Cup history to win five straight matches together, moving past Dottie Pepper and Brandie Burton's previous U.S. partnership mark of 4-1-1. Their latest performance once again showed why their partnership has become such a dependable part of Team USA's Solheim Cup lineup.

Nelly Korda And Allisen Corpuz Make Solheim Cup History

Korda and Corpuz did not have everything their way against Hull and Woad. Europe took an early lead, but the American duo responded by winning three straight holes from the sixth. They maintained control from there and eventually closed out the match 4&3, giving the United States an important first point of the week.

Korda was quick to praise Corpuz after the win, calling her “so solid” and saying, “Honestly, I enjoy playing with her so much.” Corpuz had an equally simple reason for enjoying the partnership. She joked that playing with Korda means being “30 yards ahead” of where she would normally be after her own drive, making the hole much easier.

The partnership had already given Angela Stanford an easy decision before Friday began. Korda and Corpuz had gone 2-0 together in the foursomes at both the 2023 and 2024 Solheim Cups, so Stanford brought them back for another opening match against Europe.

The result extended their perfect foursomes record and established a new milestone for the American pairing. With five straight wins together, Korda and Corpuz now hold the longest winning streak by a pairing in Solheim Cup history.

Korda And Corpuz Continue Proven Solheim Cup Partnership

Korda had warned before the event that Team USA could face a difficult crowd in the Netherlands. Still, she said American players had to support one another. Friday showed exactly why that mattered, with Korda and Corpuz again looking comfortable together when the pressure was high.

For Corpuz, though, the best part may simply be having Korda on her side. Her 30-yard joke captured the difference Korda can make in alternate-shot golf. Korda's length gives Corpuz a significant advantage when they are playing foursomes, while their previous results show how effectively the two complement each other.

Their 2-0 foursomes records together at both the 2023 and 2024 Solheim Cups had already made them a proven partnership before this year's event. Now, after another 4&3 victory, they have added a historic fifth straight win together.

With the pair already at 5-0, their next appearance could add another chapter to a partnership that is quickly becoming a Solheim Cup standard.
