U.S. Wins Solheim Cup, Ends 7-Year Drought

The United States reclaimed the Solheim Cup for the first time since 2017 with a 15.5-12.5 victory over Europe at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. Lilia Vu clinched the deciding half-point by birdieing the final two holes to tie against Albane Valenzuela, securing the win during a tense final day where Europe threatened a comeback. Key performances from Nelly Korda, Megan Khang, Allisen Corpuz, and Rose Zhang propelled the U.S. team, although Korda lost her singles match to Charley Hull. Despite a nervous final hour for U.S. captain Stacy Lewis, the American team held their nerve to break a seven-year drought. The event also featured strong camaraderie, with moments of celebration and encouragement among teammates, setting a positive tone for the week. The next Solheim Cup will be held in the Netherlands in 2026.
