Solheim Cup
|
|
Europe regained the Solheim Cup in thrilling fashion wit=
h a
last gasp 15-13 victory over the USA
at Killeen Castle on Sunday.
It all came down to the last three singles matches, and =
they
all went in Europe's favour with Aza=
hara
Munoz 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 fightback. One down with three to play against
Michelle Wie, she pulled out a final hole win. The world No.2 birdied t=
he
final three holes, holing from eight feet at the last. It was a first e=
ver
Solheim singles win for the 30-year-old Norwegian and a bitter defeat f=
or
Wie.=

For Alison Nicholas's European team, the 7-5 singles sco=
re
meant it was a fourth win from 12 contests -- but first since 2003 -- a=
nd
they will go to Colorado Golf Club in two years' time hoping to win in =
America
for the first time.
Tied eight-all overnight, Europe<=
/st1:place>
received an early gift of a point when Cristie Kerr was forced to withd=
raw
from the final singles against Karen Stupples with an injured wrist.

The oldies match between 51-year-old Juli Inkster, the
oldest ever Solheim player, and 47-year-old Laura Davies, the only one =
to
play in all 12 contests, came down to the last hole. Davies, the home c=
rowd
favourite, was one up playing the par four 18th and both players bunker=
ed
their second shots. But In=
kster
nearly holed her third from 30 yards, while the English woman failed to
make a ten foot par putt. The match ended all square and it was a half
point for the visitors.
