15/09/2024 16:55

It all comes down to this.

The 2024 Solheim Cup Sunday singles between the U.S. and the Europeans featured all 12 players on each side competing on the final day.

The U.S. leads the all-time series 10-7-1 but hasn’t won since 2017.

The Americans led this year’s event 10-6 heading into the final day needing to need to earn 14½ points to win back the Cup.

The first match out was Nelly Korda vs. Charley Hull and the world No. 1 Korda was chasing most of the day. Tied through five holes, Hull won three consecutive holes to take a big lead through eight. She took it to 4 up through 12 and then 5 up through 13. Korda was 3-0 prior to Sunday singles.

“I knew that you had to play unbelievable to beat her, and to beat Nelly, she’s a great player, and I played my, well, my heart out,” Hull said. “I did what I had to do, and yeah, it was a pretty cool moment.”

Rose Zhang, meanwhile, capped off a four-point week Sunday, just the fourth American to go 4-0 at the Solheim Cup.

“It was so incredible. I just feel like the Solheim Cup reignited my passion for the game, and it was so fun to see so many people out here supporting. My teammates have been incredible,” Zhang said. “We’ve been having so much fun, not only off the golf course but even on it. It’s just been an incredible ride. I’m very thankful to be in this position and excited to cheer the team on.”

The clinching ½ point came from Team USA’s Lilia Vu, who defeated Albane Valenzuela.
