  • Europe claimed a 15-13 victory over the United States at Bernardus Golf Club in the Netherlands.
  • Charley Hull beat Megan Khang 3&2 and Lottie Woad edged Auston Kim 2&1 in Sunday singles.
  • Carlota Ciganda's 4&2 win over Jennifer Kupcho took Europe to the 14 points that sealed the outright victory.

Europe have won the Solheim Cup outright for the first time since 2021, beating the United States 15-13 at Bernardus Golf Club in the Netherlands.

The teams began Sunday level at 8-8 after a thrilling second day. Charley Hull started Europe's charge with a 3&2 singles win over Megan Khang, before Lottie Woad edged Auston Kim 2&1 to spark big celebrations.

Carlota Ciganda then beat Jennifer Kupcho 4&2 to take Anna Nordqvist's team to 14 points and seal the outright win.

Hull and Woad had struggled as a partnership over the first two days, losing three of their four matches together, but delivered in the decisive singles.

"This feels so good," Nordqvist told Sky Sports. "There's just been so much hard work this week and in the last two years leading up to this from, not only me, but all the background team.

"The helpers have been amazing this week, making it easy for the players just to play. We just had a really good vibe all week. Everyone has been really good team-mates."

Why this matters: The result gives Europe a first outright Solheim Cup victory over the United States since 2021.
