After some amazing performances from both teams, social media has been full of praise for all of the players who competed in the Solheim Cup.
Going into today, we hoped that Team Europe could make the biggest comeback in Solheim history…

Then even though she lost her match against Paula Creamer, Georgia Hall came away as the star rookie for Team Europe…
No idea what's being said here but bright future and Gleneagles in 2019 would make sense. pic.twitter.com/XJdopDiCPY

I know I’m meant to be neutral, but hope @georgiahall96 beats @ThePCreamer in #SolheimCup Creamer’s antics not what #golf is all about.

We also thought that Juli Inkster had started celebrating early….
