The Solheim Cup, a prestigious women's golf tournament, saw the United States triumph over Europe, clinching their first victory since 2017. The event, held in 2024, concluded with a dramatic final round on September 15, wherein Lilia Vu's successful putt helped secure a 14.5 to 13.5 win for the Americans. The victory was particularly sweet for the U.S., which ended a seven-year victory drought in this biennial competition.

Suzann Pettersen, the European team captain, faced mixed emotions following the defeat. Under her guidance, the European team showed a commendable fightback throughout the tournament. Despite holding a strong position on the first day with a six-point lead, they were unable to maintain this momentum in the face of a relentless U.S. team.

The U.S. team's success can largely be attributed to standout performances from players like Nelly Korda and Allisen Corpuz, who led the charge on day one with remarkable results. Throughout the tournament, the U.S. built a significant lead that, despite Europe's efforts, ultimately proved too great to overcome.

Following the event, Pettersen expressed determination and optimism for the future, indicating that the European team would regroup and come back stronger [source: https://www.thisislocallondon.co.uk/sport/national/24586222.suzann
