Story summary

In the Solheim Cup golf tournament held in the Netherlands over the weekend, the European team emerged victorious after the U.S. team celebrated prematurely by partying a day early. On day two of the event, the U.S. was trailing 7-5 with all momentum on the Europeans' side. Despite losing the first fourball match of the afternoon session, the American team won the last three matches, including a crucial anchor match where Jennifer Kupcho and Lindy Duncan erased a 2-down deficit against Carlota Ciganda and Celine Boutier. Kupcho's 90-foot putt on the 17th hole helped secure the point for the U.S., tying the score at 8-8 heading into Sunday's singles matches. However, this premature celebration by the American team before securing their victory may have cost them in the long run.
