The United States won the Solheim Cup<\/strong> for the first time in seven years after a closely fought final day singles contest at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia.<\/p>\n

The matches remained on a knife edge until Lilia Vu made a brilliant birdie on the 18th<\/sup>\u00a0to earn the half point needed to reach 14 \u00bd points and win the Solheim Cup for the United States.<\/p>\n

The final score was 15 \u00bd \u2013 12 \u00bd in America\u2019s favour as they clinched the cup for the first time since 2017.<\/p>\n

At the start of the day, the home side had a four-point lead with 10-6 advantage over Europe, but it was the holders who won the singles session.<\/p>\n

Europe won 6 \u00bd points on the final day, even though the U.S. Team only won 5 \u00bd points from their 12 singles matches it was enough to secure them the victory.<\/p>\n

The last four Solheim Cups have been decided by scores of 14.5 to 13.5 (for Europe in 2019), 15-13 (for Europe in 2021), 14-14 in 2023 and 15.5 to 12.5 for the U.S. Team this year. That means that the last four Solheim Cups have been decided by a total of 6 points.<\/p>\n

Winning captain Stacy Lewis<\/strong> said:\u00a0\u201cI mean, this is so cool. So stressful to watch. It\u2019s awful watching. But just so proud of the players. It\u2019s amazing how these things come down to half a point here and there. Fortunately, this time we were on the right side of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really could have gone either way. It\u2019s crazy there at the end kind of how it all unfolded. I was just hoping and praying it went our way.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust proud of the team, and Lilia\u2019s finish there was unbelievable. That\u2019s what you expect from one of the best players in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

European captain Suzann Pettersen<\/strong><\/a> commented:\u00a0\u201cI mean, we gave them a run for their money. I don\u2019t think anyone expected us to be here at 2:30 and to still have a chance. It\u2019s kind of hard to believe that we actually had a chance with kind of that poor of a start, giving them such a head start. But I had fun today. It\u2019s always exciting on a Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were possibilities out there, and several times we thought we could get it done. It came down to a couple of matches. Happy for Stacy, obviously, on home turf, but we\u2019ll come back very hungry.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had so much fun with these girls. I\u2019ve truly enjoyed it. Win or lose \u2014 yeah, it\u2019s fun to win, a little bit more painful to lose, but at the end of the day we\u2019ve had a lot of small victories within our team this week. We\u2019ve had a lot of fun, a lot of good laughs, moments that I will cherish forever. It\u2019s been a great ride, and Solheims, they\u2019re the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

The United States captured their first Solheim Cup victory since 2017 as they won by 15 \u00bd points to Europe\u2019s 12 \u00bd points at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club.<\/p>\n

Heading into the final day, the U.S. Team had a four-point lead over Europe as they led 10-6 in Gainesville, Virginia.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Team were in pole position early on and only needed one and a half points to secure the Solheim Cup outright.<\/p>\n

However, Europe fought back hard as many matches headed down 18 but it wasn\u2019t enough as Lilia Vu tapped in the putt to clinch the point needed for the U.S. to be victorious.<\/p>\n
