CNN —Team Europe retained the Solheim Cup on Sunday, staging a remarkable late fightback to tie 14-14 with Team USA at Finca Cortesin Golf Club in Andalucia, Spain.

It came down to Carlota [Ciganda], in Spain, in her own hands,” Pettersen told Sky Sports. “I have many feelings right, I’m so happy just to do this for Suzann, for Spain,” Ciganda said.
