The European team won four of Monday’s individual matches, in addition to splitting the honors of two more against the American team, to win the Solheim Cup of women’s golf in Toledo, Ohio by a score of 15 to 13.
A roll of a few feet from the Finnish Matilda Castren allowed her to secure a gain by a hole at the expense of Lizette Salas, but above all, to give a 14th point to the representatives of the Old Continent who could therefore celebrate. Three games still had to be completed, except in one of them Europe was certain to get at least a half point, courtesy of Emily Pedersen, who faced Danielle Kang.
As a result, Scottish captain Catriona Matthew saw her troops have the final say for the second time in a row at this competition. Europe had won 14.5 to 13.5 two years earlier on the Gleneagles course.
With a priority of 9-7 at the start of the last day of the event, the winning team also collected points by virtue of the gains of Madelene Sagstrom, Leona Maguire and Céline Boutier against Ally Ewing, Jennifer Kupcho and Mina Harigae, respectively. Moreover, Maguire and Boutier both notched convincing wins of 5 and 4.
