GOYANG, South Korea (AP) — Canada's Brooke Henderson and Wei-Ling Hsu of Taiwan beat Sweden's Madelene Sagstrom and Ingrid Lindblad 4 and 3 on Saturday to qualify the World team for the International Crown semifinals.
The win gave the World team its fourth point in Pool B from three wins and two ties in the LPGA team event at the New Korea Country Club.
In a later match, Maja Stark and Linn Grant of Sweden beat the World team's Charley Hull and Lydia Ko 3 and 1.
Australia also qualified for the semifinals from Pool A, as did Japan from Pool B.
“I’ve been waiting a long time for the World team to come true, and I am just so grateful to be a part of this team,†Henderson said. “It’s been an incredible opportunity so far. I love my partner here. (Wei-Ling) bailed me out a lot here today, and she played amazing all week. It’s been so much fun, and I’m really excited for tomorrow.â€
Going into Saturday's final round of fourball matches, the United States had already qualified for the semifinals from Pool A with wins in its first four fourball matches.
