#7 Europe’s Unintended Consequences

After being infuriated by a call they found unsportsmanlike, the Americans staged the biggest comeback in Solheim Cup history Saturday to wrest the golfing trophy back from Europe. Paula Creamer defeated Germany’s Sandra Gal to complete the turnaround and secure a 14½-13½ victory; the United States had trailed by 4 points going into the singles. The win gave the U.S. its first title since 2009, denying the Europeans their first three-peat. The U.S. extended its series lead to 9-5. No team had ever come from more than 2 down going into the singles.
