Europe Reclaims Solheim Cup After Woad Clinches Singles Decider

A dominant run in Sunday singles turned an 8-8 tie into a European victory and ended a seesaw three‑day contest at Bernardus Golf.

Overview

  • The match ended when England rookie Lottie Woad holed the decisive putt in the singles, giving Team Europe an unassailable lead and the Cup on Sunday, September 13.
  • The two teams were level at 8-8 after two days of team play following a tied opening day and a split of Saturday sessions that set up the winner-takes-all singles.
  • Europe seized control in Saturday morning foursomes when Maja Stark and Linn Grant beat Nelly Korda and Allisen Corpuz to end the American pair’s five-match unbeaten foursomes streak and put Europe 7-5 ahead.
  • The United States fought back in Saturday afternoon fourballs, lifted by Jennifer Kupcho’s long-range birdies, which keyed a U.S. comeback to level the overall score going into singles.
  • The event featured notable storylines beyond the final putt: Korda and Corpuz’s record five straight foursomes wins, rookie pairings that won key points for Europe, and several matches decided by late clutch shots that shaped the outcome.
