Lydia Hall
Ladies European Tour winner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

It was so close wasn't it. Coming in today having to win eight points and I'm surprised we're still sat here, coming right down to the wire.

It's been an incredible day of golf and incredible for the women's game.

It's been so exciting and there's been unbelievable golf played.

Team Europe should be proud of how they've come out today and represented the Ladies European Tour.

We're into that odd time of a Solheim Cup or Ryder Cup when the match is over but there are still players out on the course hoping to win their points.

Personal records are a great source of pride for these top pros so we'll keep you on top of how they work out in the end.

For now it's a scene of Americans all over the course hugging and celebrating finally winning the cup back for the first time since 2017.

I'm speechless. I got goosebups when I saw that wedge shot from Lilia Vu. I'm proud of this team.

I'm really proud and happy for Stacy Lewis. "Unfinished business" she kept saying. Redemption for Finca Cortesin.

The US have finally been able to do that just outside of our nation's capital.

In the meantime, there are still two matches out on the course and Madelene Sagstrom is continuing to make inroads for Europe.

She's just inched ahead at 17.

Stacy Lewis has been preaching about the virtues of staying relaxed, taking all the pressure off the players - but there's no doubt she's been through it today.

The relief is etched all over her face and there's a puff of the cheeks among the celebrations - as Europe came so close to causing a huge upset.

There's those chants ringing around everywhere at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club - even Sarah Schmelzel, who is still playing her match, suddenly throws her arms up in celebration when she realises what's happened.

Let's just tidy up the result, with Lilia Vu and Albane Valenzuela officially ended all square - with that last burst by the world number two being enough to finally get the hosts over the line.

The USA players at the 18th hole are all embracing each other and waving the stars and stripes. Lilia Vu wipes tears from her eyes - she's absolutely overcome with emotion.

Lilia Vu taps it in and for the first time since 2017 the USA have won the Solheim Cup!

Vu ends up winning the last two holes to tie her match with Albane Valenzuela and that takes the USA to the magical 14½ they needed to win the cup.

Oh no! It's bang on line and tracking but pulls up just a couple of rolls short - so Lilia Vu has a tap-in to win the Solheim Cup.

Now Albane Valenzuela needs to make her putt from over 20 feet to keep Europe's Solheim Cup dreams alive.

Maja Stark saved half a point for Europe and kept the Solheim Cup alive with an outstanding putt on the 18th.

She's just told Sky how difficult that was:

"It's huge. Having the putt to not lose Solheim, for now at least, it's so much pressure, I've been so nervous these last few holes so managing to do that is really nice."

"I was trying to think about what I saw on the way over there. I knew it was a pretty straight putt and I was pretty confident in my abilities to roll the ball along the line.

"I just trusted that and get it all the way into the hole."

The door is open for Lilia Vu and she comes powering through it with a wonderful wedge shot that almost goes in, but settles right next to the hole!

Albane Valenzuela is one ahead of Lilia Vu but from the 18th fairway she's about half a club short with her approach.

Back at 14, Linn Grant can't land a crucial putt to save par and she's slipped back.

After already making one sensational recovery, she'll need to find another in the final four holes or it's curtains for Europe.

Maja Stark sinks it! Incredible. Half a point each.

The US still need half a point to win this. Europe hanging on by their fingernails.

Neither can Charley Hull!
