Team Europe have regained the Solheim Cup after an impressive singles display saw them beat Team USA in the Netherlands.

Europe went into a rainy Sunday at Bernardus Golf tied 8-8 and requiring at least 6.5 points for victory, two years on from losing to Team USA, with Charley Hull leading from the front to beat Megan Khang 3&2 and put early blue on the board.

Anna Nordqvist’s side briefly led in eight of the 12 matches and moved further ahead when Linn Grant beat Angel Yin, completing her perfect week, but Alison Lee gave Team USA hope with a record comeback from four down to beat Esther Henseleit 1up.
