I think Carlota Ciganda is excited…
Heading into Sunday singles with a five-point deficit, the U.S. team needed nothing short of a miracle to take back the Solheim Cup, but Europe never gave them much of a chance to make a run.
Until Sunday at Colorado Golf Club, the Europeans had never won the Solheim Cup on foreign soil. And they didn’t just win, they clobbered the Americans, with the finally tally: Europe 18, U.S. 10.
The Spaniards FTW!
For the second day in row, the Solheim Cup was filled with drama and controversy, not to mention painful — and embarrassing — rulings that unnecessarily lasted nearly 30 minutes (maybe longer, but I fell asleep around the 22nd minute) over a drop from a hazard.

World no. 1 Inbee Park continues to dominate the women’s golf circuit, posting a superb five-under 67 at Sebonack to take the clubhouse lead in the first round of the U.S. Women’s Open.
Park has already won five times — yes, FIVE — this season, including the first two majors.
The Charge of the Fight Brigade
Congrats to the European squad for their impressive victory over the Americans at the Solheim Cup.
It was looking like the Americans were going to pull off an unlikely victory about a half-hour earlier. Europe and U.S. were tied at 12 1/2 points apiece.
Michelle Wie rolled in a clutch 15-footer on 17, putting some pressure on Suzann Pettersen, who had thrown a dart to roughly four feet (Wie had also made a clutch putt on 15 to go 1-up, but Pettersen responded with a birdie on 16.); rookie extraordinaire Ryann O’Toole was 2-up with two to play over Caroline Hedwall; Angela Stanford had just squared up her match against Azahara Munoz.
Nothing says 'glamour' quite like angry Welsh skies
