USA storm singles to keep cup

America’s golfers followed last week’s successful defence of the amateur Walker Cup with a brilliant display to keep hold of the Solheim Cup at Halmstad in Sweden today.

Even though Laura Diaz and Sherri Steinhauer, the two players called “choking freaking dogs” by former star Dottie Pepper on Saturday, could not hit back in the way they hoped, their team-mates simply dazzled in the singles.
