(AP) ? Spanish rookie Azahara Munoz holed a crucial par putt on the 18th to help Europe extend its lead over the United States to 7-5 in the Solheim Cup at Killeen Castle on Saturday.

Americans Cristie Kerr and Paul Creamer were one up on Munoz and Catriona Matthew of Scotland playing the final hole of the morning foursomes session. Kerr missed a 12-foot par putt for a U.S. win and Europe safely two-putted to halve the match.

Europe started the day leading by 4? to 3? points and won the morning session 2?-1? as Swedes Caroline Hedwall and Sophie Gustafson beat Angela Stanford and Stacy Lewis 6 and 5.

Morgal Pressel and Ryann O'Toole had a 3 and 2 victory over Europe's Karen Stupples and Christel Boeljon. But Maria Hjorth and Anna Nordqvist beat Brittany Lang and Juli Inkster 3 and 2 to restore Europe's two-point advantage.
