Rose Zhang of the United States made ⁤history by becoming the first player in Solheim Cup history to win all four matches without going to ⁤the 17th⁣ hole.

Zhang’s impressive ⁤performance‍ included securing the victory on the 16th hole in ​the first‌ day’s‍ foursomes with Lauren Coughlin, and winning the two fourballs⁢ and the single match play on the final day‍ with⁣ four holes left. The US team was led by Stacy ​Lewis, ‌while Susanne Pettersen⁤ (Norway) led the European team.

Charlie Hull (England) was a standout player for Europe, with 3 wins and 2 losses. Despite their efforts, the European team was unable to secure their first-ever four-peat in‌ the tournament. The 2026 Solheim Cup will be held in the Netherlands.
