ST. LEON-ROT, Germany -- Paula Creamer defeated Germany's Sandra Gal to complete a remarkable comeback as United States won the Solheim Cup with a 14 1/2-13 1/2 victory over Europe on Sunday.
Creamer made five birdies in 15 holes to win the final singles match 4 and 3 and give the U.S. its first title since 2009.
Europe led 10-6 going into the 12 singles but could only win three and draw another as the Americans -- inspired by a controversial call in the fourballs -- claimed 8 1/2 points to deny the Europeans a third straight title.
