Europe meet little US resistance

EUROPE’S women golfers brilliantly won back the Solheim Cup in Sweden yesterday - and wasted little time doing it.

Needing five points from the 12 singles, they achieved them from the first seven games to add the trophy to the Ryder Cup won last year a professional double which has never been done before - and the Walker Cup retained by Britain and Ireland's amateurs last week.

Scot Janice Moodie led the way, then Swede Sophie Gustafson and Iben Tinning added the next two points.
