An enthralling contest with the US came down to the narrowest of margins on the final day, Carlota Ciganda’s win against Nelly Korda proving vital
The good news is, there is anotherin 12 months’ time. If events at Marco Simone in Rome, where male players from Europe and the United States take centre stage from Friday, are a patch on this then golf fans should prepare for a Ryder Cup for the ages. This Solheim Cup was not a one-off, either; time and again it throws up enthralling contests, decided by fabulous golf and the narrowest of margins. Women’s golf is in terrific shape.
“I just told them: ‘We didn’t lose,’” Lewis said. “It was a tie and there was so much to build on from this week. I told them how proud I was of them and to hold their heads high. They did everything I asked of them this week and more. They had great attitudes, they were classy opponents, and they represented this country so well.”
Help was soon at hand. The selection of Caroline Hedwall by Pettersen was deemed controversial, with the Swede ranked 121 in the world. How Hedwall repaid the faith of her captain. She was one down to Ally Ewing after 15 but won the next three holes for a 2up victory. “I know it’s never over until it’s over and that’s the fight I put on today,” said Hedwall. “I’m just really proud of myself right now.” With good reason.
