Charley Hull and Lottie Woad delivered to help Europe claim Solheim Cup success over the United States by a 15-13 victory at Bernardus Golf Club.
English duo Hull and Woad had struggled as a partnership across the first two days in the Netherlands and lost three of their four matches together, but showed their class to win their decisive singles on Sunday.
After Europe and USA started the day level at 8-8 on the back of a thrilling day two, Hull kicked off the victory charge for Anna Nordqvist’s team with a 3&2 win over Megan Khang.
It was followed up by big celebrations when Woad edged out Auston Kim 2&1.
With Europe up to 14 points, veteran Carlota Ciganda sealed a first outright win since 2021 after she got the better of Jennifer Kupcho 4&2 to start the victory party.
“This feels so good,” Nordqvist told Sky Sports.
“There’s just been so much hard work this week and in the last two years leading up to this from, not only me, but all the background team.
“The helpers have been amazing this week, making it easy for the players just to play. We just had a really good vibe all week. Everyone has been really good team-mates.”
