Europe defended its Solheim Cup title and did so on American soil, beating the U.S. 15-13 on Monday at the Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio. The Americans hold the all-time Solheim Cup edge 10-7, but Europe has now won four of the last six.
Matilda Castren drained the Cup-retaining putt for Europe when she got up and down for par on the 18th to beat Lizette Salas 1 up and give Europe 14 points. That kicked off a mini-party for the European side, but the full-blown celebration had to wait until Emily Pedersen birdied the last to beat Danielle Kang 1 up in the final match of the day.
