Europeans get last laugh with Solheim Cup victory after US team parties with beers a day early

Fox News · 4 hours ago

Team Europe reclaimed the Solheim Cup with a 15-13 victory over the United States in the Netherlands, after the Americans appeared to celebrate prematurely by drinking beers on their team bus following a strong comeback on day two. The moment, shared publicly on the US team's social media, drew a pointed response from the Europeans, who mocked their rivals after sealing the win on the final day.

The US had clawed back to level the match at 8-8 heading into Sunday's singles, powered by a dramatic comeback from Jennifer Kupcho and Lindy Duncan, including a 90-foot putt from Kupcho. However, Europe won seven of the 12 singles matches on Sunday to take the trophy, with Hall of Famer Laura Davies leading her own team's celebrations and a chant referencing the Americans' earlier drinking. US captain Angela Stanford defended the Saturday celebrations as a moment worth savouring regardless of the outcome. Europe has now won or retained the cup in four of the last five editions, while the US has not won on European soil since 2015 in Germany.
