Europe won the past three singles matches to secure a stunning 141/2-131/2 Solheim Cup victory over the United States.
Bronte Law, that moments earlier won her game on the 17th, sprinted up the 18th fairway to combine the celebrations after wildcard pick Suzann Pettersen holed an eight-foot putt in the past to win the prize.
“She got a little stick for getting this selection, but it reveals she had been the right one,” said Europe captain Catriona Matthew.
Pettersen was chosen as a vice-captain after taking some time. But after returning to perform before this season, the 39-year-old was given a surprise 10th Solheim Cup appearance by Matthew.
And she repaid her captain’s faith using a success that was nerve-shredding on the final green.
American Marina Alex missed a putt to halve her match to make a 14th point that would have observed the US retain the trophy.
Legislation was sealing that stage back on the 17th while Pettersen sized up what she thought is a putt to win her game to put Europe on 13 1/2 points.
That unexpectedly meant a Pettersen birdie would seal the triumph, although a miss would have seen the US hit 14 points and retain the cupbut the Norwegian held her guts to spark wild celebrations on green.
Pettersen later admitted she didn’t understand her putt was to win the prize.
“It actually was a huge blur,” she explained. “I did not know. I was just trying to earn a birdie.”
