Team Europe have regained the Solheim Cup after an impressive singles display saw them beat Team USA in the Netherlands.
Europe went into a rainy Sunday at Bernardus Golf tied 8-8 and requiring at least 6.5 points for victory, two years on from losing to Team USA, with Charley Hull leading from the front to beat Megan Khang 3&2 and put early blue on the board.
Anna Nordqvist's side briefly led in eight of the 12 matches and moved further ahead when Linn Grant beat Angel Yin, completing her perfect week, but Alison Lee gave Team USA hope with a record comeback from four down to beat Esther Henseleit 1up.
World No 1 Nelly Korda levelled the contest when she saw off rookie Mimi Rhodes 4&3, but wins for Nastasia Nadaud, Nanna Koerstz Madsen and Julia Lopez Ramirez moved Europe closer to victory.
Lottie Woad beat Auston Kim to take the hosts to 14 points and sparked European celebrations, with Ciganda guaranteed at least a half-point, before the veteran - whose singles win 2023 saw them retain in Spain - defeated Jennifer Kupcho to confirm home victory.
