Lilia Vu clinched the Solheim Cup for Team USA as they won 15.5 to 13.5 and clinched the Cup for the first time since 2017. Team USA performed phenomenally from top to bottom of the roster. Their ability to step up when others did not have their best day was a huge key to the success.

The United States reclaimed the Solheim Cup for the first time in seven years with a 15 ½ - 12 ½ victory over the Europeans on Sunday at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia.

One of the biggest concerns Team USA captains had coming into the 19th Solheim Cup was the 40-minute bus ride they had each day to and from Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. Team vibes can’t be found in the dirt or the data.

The 19th edition of the Solheim Cup biennial golf tournament for professional women golfers will get underway on Friday at the beautiful Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia, and will be contested by teams representing Europe and the United States.

The U.S. won the first session Friday 3-1, then made it 6-2 after Friday afternoon. The two sides split 2-2 on Saturday morning, giving the U.S. an 8-4 lead through three sessions. The Americans need to earn 14 ½ points to win the Cup.

And she had plenty of help as the Americans finally got possession of the Solheim Cup after seven long years. Their best players delivered some of the biggest moments. Rose Zhang showed why she is looked upon as a rising star on the LPGA Tour.

For the second time in the span of a year, the best from the U.S. and Europe will clash for what’s become a nail-biting affair.
