USA 15.5, Europe 12.5:
Europe won the first day, 5-3, while the USA won the second day, 5-3. Which resulted in an 8-8 tie heading into Sunday singles.
The USA jumped out quickly, winning the first five singles matches to reach 13 points. But the needed 14.5 points to reclaim the Solheim Cup wasn't reached until the next-to-last match, when Meg Mallon defeated Karen Stupples.
Laura Diaz and Catriona Matthews met in singles, but they could have called it a fourball: Both players were pregnant.
