Solheim Cup 2024: Team USA beat Europe 15.5-12.5 as Lilia Vu secures winning point for Stacy Lewis’ side

Team USA withstood a final-day fightback from Team Europe to claim a 15.5-12.5 victory and win the Solheim Cup for the first time since 2017.

Stacy Lewis’ side took a 10-6 advantage into the Sunday singles at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, leaving them requiring just 4.5 points for victory, with Megan Khang, Allisen Corpuz and Rose Zhang all posting big wins to move them closer to their target.

Charley Hull led from the front to thrash world No 1 Nelly Korda and Georgia Hall also posted a big win to raise hopes of a historic European comeback, with seven matches left on the course either tied or in favour of Suzann Pettersen’s side at that stage.
