Team USA staged a thrilling comeback to reclaim the Solheim Cup 🏆, ending Europe's three-tournament win streak in a heart-pounding finale! Lilia Vu became the hero of the hour, clinching the decisive half-point with a clutch birdie on the 18th hole. 🌟
The Americans entered Sunday's singles matches trailing 10-6 but rallied hard, with Megan Khang, Rose Zhang, and Allisen Corpuz delivering key victories. Europe fought fiercely—Charley Hull stunned world No. 1 Nelly Korda 6&4—but Team USA's depth prevailed. 🦅
"This is a dream," said Vu, who grew up idolizing past U.S. teams. Her walk-off birdie putt sparked celebrations as Europe's comeback bid fell short. 🇪🇺
European captain Suzann Pettersen praised her squad: "We gave them a run for their money." But U.S. captain Stacy Lewis summed up the drama: "It's crazy how it unfolded—I was just praying it went our way." 🙏
The win marks Team USA's first since 2017. The 2026 edition heads to the Netherlands—and if this year's showdown is any indicator, golf fans are in for more fireworks! 🔥⛳️
