Europe beats US 15-13 in Solheim Cup. Lowry takes Irish Open by record 11 shots

The Solheim Cup returned to European control after an impressive showing by European teams on Sunday at Bernardus, securing a narrow 15-13 victory over the United States. The lead was established early, with Lottie Woad's 2-foot putt on the final hole ensuring the European team amassed the necessary 14.5 points to triumph. Moments later, Carlota Ciganda completed the victory by clinching Ciganda's match against Jennifer Kupcho, who had secured the preceding point to keep the Solheim Cup in European possession for 2023.

The Europeans have now claimed three of the last five editions of the competition, with their only loss during this period occurring in Virginia two years ago. Prior to this match, the teams were evenly matched at 8-8 after two days of singles play, which was conducted in heavy rain. Europe's early dominance was spearheaded by Charley Hull and Linn Grant, setting the tone for the remainder of the matches.

The only significant setback for Europe came when U.S. player Alison Lee managed to stage a remarkable comeback, overcoming a 4-shot deficit after 11 holes to defeat Esther Henseleit by just one stroke, marking the largest comeback in Solheim Cup history.
