Pettersen’s perfect closure The Solheim Cup had us glued to the TV over the weekend and in an ending that came close to matching the miracle in Medinah, Europe’s ladies sealed the win with the final putt of the contest - talk about going down to the wire. The USA needed to reach 14 points to retain the Solheim Cup and with 13.5 points on the board and still two matches in play at A/S, it looked likely that USA captain Juli Inkster would be heading back across the pond with the trophy strapped into first class. However, Bronte Law and Suzann Pettersen had other ideas. Once Law had secured a 2&1 victory on the 17th green, the overall scores were tied on 13.5 apiece with the final match A/S on the 18th. Only winning the hole would do for Pettersen and Europe, and she duly obliged by sinking a pressure birdie putt to send Gleneagles into raptures.
