- Europe’s women reclaimed the Solheim Cup in the most thrilling fashion imaginable on Sunday with Norway’s Suzann Pettersen sealing a 14.5-13.5 win over the U.S. with the final putt of the three-day battle around Gleneagles.
They needed just a half point from the last three of Sunday’s singles matches still out on the course but Europe, who last won it in 2013, staged a remarkable fightback. Pettersen’s opponent Marina Alex had moments before had a birdie putt which would have guaranteed the half point that would have been enough to deny Europe.
“Half-an-hour ago it looked like a draw would be a good result but those last three games were crucial. Just fantastic. I had faith in Pettersen all the time. This is the best moment, nothing tops this. There’s going to be a party!” “This is just a fantastic win for the team. I didn’t feel much pressure, I knew my team mates wanted me on the team.”
The scoreboard then began turning American red though as rookie Brittany Altomare completed a 5&4 rout over Jodi Ewart Shadoff and Angel Yin edged out Azahara Munoz 2&1.
