25 September 2011, Dunsany, Co Meath, Ireland: Stunning, dramatic and, finally, a day of celebration for the European team at The Solheim Cup at Killeen Castle in Ireland.

Following rain delays, lightning threats and the shock withdrawal of Cristie Kerr due to injury before the start of her match, Europe finally regained the Solheim Cup in thrilling fashion with the narrowest of 15-13 victories over the USA.

It all came down to the last three singles matches and a dramatic final half hour. The scoreboard was favouring the USA, but the pendulum swung firmly in Europe’s favour.

Azahara Munoz had the honour of clinching the vital point in the final match with a one hole win over Angela Stanford.

In the second last singles, Caroline Hedwall, two down two to play against Ryann O’Toole, won the last two holes for a vital half point.

Suzann Pettersen had started the great fightback. One down with three to play against Michelle Wie, she pulled out a final-hole win.

The world No.2 birdied the final three holes, holing from eight feet at the last. It was a first ever Solheim singles win for the 30-year-old Norwegian, and the perfect time to achieve it...... more ......

USA captain Rosie Jones, playing assistant captain, Juli Inkster, and top U.S. Team point scorer, Morgan Pressell, spoke of their feelings after a tumultuous Solheim Cup that was ripped from their grasp in the final hour’s play at Killeen Castle.

ROSIE JONES:  This was really a great week.  I couldn't ask for a better team, better experience, a better golf course.  Just a lot of fun. I think our gals played their hearts out.  We couldn't ask any more of them.  Europe just played better than us in that last 35 minutes.  I mean, they played good all week, but they just played better and just took it away, just stripped it.  Just took it away in the last 35 minutes of the Solheim Cup..... more....
