Heidelberg (Germany) (AFP) - After a dramatic, controversial and tearful final day, the USA defeated Europe on Sunday to win the Solheim Cup for the first time since 2009.
Behind 10-6 going into the 12 singles -- the same score that Europe trailed the USA before coming back to win the Ryder Cup at Medinah in 2012 -- the US triumphed by a point, 14 1/2 to 13 1.2.
Paula Creamer claimed the winning point in the final singles match with a 4 and 3 win over Sandra Gal.
