It was always going to take something special to get anywhere near the dramatic finish we witnessed at Gleneagles in the 2019 Solheim Cup, but this year's contest at Finca Cortesin came about as close as you can get.
Suzann Pettersen was the hero four years ago as she signed off her playing career by claiming the winning point in a 14.5-13.5 success, with the Norwegian given the task this time around of attempting to lead Team Europe to a historic third consecutive victory.Hopes of a threepeat appeared over when Team USA claimed a clean sweep in the Friday foursomes and were leading that afternoon, but Pettersen's side dug deep to battle back and drag the contest level heading into the Sunday singles.
Well done ladies! ' Donald's post was shared by Ryder Cup Europe and several of his team for next week's biennial contest at Marco Simone GC, including Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and Justin Rose, with Padraig Harrington and Justin Thomas among the other notable players to praise Pettersen's side.Thomas said: 'Unbelievable finish at @TheSolheimCup. Those clutch shots by @carlotagolf were amazing. Loved to see @Lexi go out and play great today in the anchor match.
