Europe retain Solheim Cup after thrilling victory over USA

• Visitors take match 15-13 after seesaw singles session
• Catriona Matthew first European captain to win twice

Good times never seemed so good," chanted Europe's delirious players. You bet they didn't. Just a second Solheim Cup win for those in blue and yellow on United States soil. This one arrived minus a travelling support. Take a bow, Catriona Matthew, who has captained her team in back-to-back triumphs.

Bare statistics belie the story of an exceptional day under the Toledo sun. This should be a watershed moment for women's golf. What a pity that the Solheim shift to even years does not kick in until 2024. The standard of play at the Inverness Club was genuinely outstanding.
