The United States claim the Solheim Cup for the first time since 2017 after a tight victory over Europe in Virginia.
The United States won the Solheim Cup for the first time since 2017 with a tight 15½-12½ victory over Europe in Virginia.
Europe skipper Suzann Pettersen added: "We gave them a run for their money. We had a chance, there were possibilities and several times we thought we could get it done.Europe began the day dreaming of a 'Manassas miracle' with Pettersen saying she had no option but to push her "form" players out in the early singles matches and English pair Charley Hull and Georgia Hall led from the front.
But, in between those results, Megan Khang demolished Emily Pedersen 6&5 to put the US 11-8 ahead and within three and a half points of success.
