What Happened in the 2026 Solheim Cup
The teams entered the Sunday singles session tied at 8-8, but Team Europe's rookies pulled it through, then one of its veterans sealed the win. In the middle part of the match lineup, European rookies Nastasia Nadaud, Julia Lopez Ramirez and Lottie Woad won three consecutive games, helping Europe's point total to 14. Needing just a half-point to reclaim the Solheim Cup, stalwart Carlota Ciganda got it with a 4-and-2 win over Jennifer Kupcho.Europe pulled off the victory despite two of its veteran leaders, Celine Boutier (0-4-0) and Charley Hull (1-3-1), going a combined 1-7-1. Hull did lead off the singles session with a victory, however. Linn Grant topped Europe with a 4-0-0 mark, while two players who were both rookies and captain's picks, Nastasia Nadaud and Julia Lopez Ramirez, combined to go 4-1-1. Allison Lee led Team USA with a 4-0-0 record.
The Team USA pairing of Allisen Corpuz and Nelly Korda won a foursomes match on Day 1 — the opening match of the 2026 Solheim Cup — against Charley Hull/Lottie Woad. Corpuz/Korda thus became the first-ever Solheim Cup team to win five consecutive matches, having gone 4-for-4 as partners (all foursomes) previous in the 2023 and 2024 Cups. Their streak ended in Day 2 foursomes, however, when European side Maja Stark/Linn Grant beat them 3 and 2. ... Also in Day 2 foursomes, Alison Lee/Lauren Coughlin of Team USA took a 6-and-5 win over Hull/Woad, tying the Solheim Cup record for largest winning margin in a foursomes match. ... In the last match of Day 2, Jennifer Kupcho/Lindy Duncan of Team USA came from 1-down after the 16th hole to win the final two holes — Kupcho sank a 91-foot putt on the 17th — and the fourball match against Carlota Ciganda/Celine Boutier. That tied the score at 8-8 heading into Day 3's final single session.
