U.S. Women Golfers Earn a Tournament Win Over European Counterparts

The Solheim Cup again belongs to the Americans.

The U.S. team successfully finished their leftover business from a year ago, winning the cup for the first time since 2017. The final score was 15.5-12.5, the biggest gap since 2017 when the Americans won by five points.

It was Lilia Vu who earned the clinching half-point. Down by one in her match to Albane Valenzuela, Vu sent the crowd at Robert Trent Jones Golf Course in Gainesville, Va. into hysteria with an approach shot at No. 18 hit to two feet. Valenzuela left her long birdie putt short, Vu smoothly hit her ball in and got the U.S. to 14.5 points.
