Golf plays on a different axis in the “Land of the Midnight Sun,” and nowhere is that difference more pronounced than at Tromsø golf club, the world’s northernmost 18-hole golf course. Arguably though, it’s overhead where Tromsø golf club really separates itself. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that has helped drive what Sonsteby has noted as an increased appetite for golf in the region, with Tromsø golf club adding 65 new members to its 470 total membership this year alone. “Now we see the massive increase that Viktor and Suzann have created in golf in this country,” Stephen Newey, head pro at Oslo Golf Club and Pettersen’s junior coach, told CNN. “The kids want to play golf – ‘I want to be like Viktor, I want to be like Suzann,’ and they can.”

Emily Pedersen produced the shot of the day. Angel Martinez/Getty ImagesThere was some late drama on the 18th as Leona Maguire produced a delightful chip-in to snatch a point for Team Europe alongside Georgia Hall, beating the American pairing of Lexi Thompson and Lilia Vu. Angel Martinez/Getty ImagesBut on a day that certainly wasn’t lacking in spectacular shots, it was Pedersen’s hole-in-one – only the second in Solheim Cup history – that became the standout moment. That shot and the rest of the afternoon fourballs were just the tonic Team Europe needed after a difficult morning.
