Team USA survived a late European fightback to claim the 2024 Solheim Cup in Virginia.

Europe, led by Suzann Pettersen, needed an unlikely eight points on the final day to secure a record fourth victory in a row.

But Team USA were simply too strong in the end, winning by a margin of three points to end a seven-year wait for a win in the Solheim.

Lilia Vu secured the crucial half point needed for the U.S at 19.28pm BST to spark joyous scenes for the home crowd at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club.

World No.1 Nelly Korda was thrashed 6&4 in the opening match by Charley Hull before Georgia Hall put another point on the board for Europe.

Victories for Megan Khang, Allisen Corpuz and Rose Zhang edged the U.S closer to victory before Europe came roaring back to set up a dramatic climax.

German rookie Esther Henseleit won four holes on the spin to secure half a point in her match against Andrea Lee.

Lexi Thomspon, who will retire at the end of the season, was defeated by Celine Boutier in a tight contest.

Maja Stark had a glorious opportunity to win another point but had to settle for a half.

The result of that match meant all Vu needed was a half to bring the Cup back to the U.S.

Vu sank a short birdie putt and was promptly surrounded by her teammates.

U.S. captain Stacy Lewis said: “It could have gone either way, it’s crazy how it unfolded.

“It’s amazing how often these things come down to half a point here and there and we’re happy to be on the right side this time.”

Pettersen said: “We gave them a run for their money. We had a chance, there were possibilities and several times we thought we could get it done.”
