Overall result: Europe 14.5, USA 11.5.
Sunday singles (twelve 18-hole matches; home player stated first): Annika Sörenstam (Swe) lost to Juli Inkster 5&4; Sophie Gustafson (Swe) lost to Brandie Burton 4&3; Helen Alfredsson (Swe) bt Beth Daniel 4&3; Trish Johnson (Eng) lost to Dottie Pepper 2&1; Laura Davies (Eng) lost to Kelly Robbins 3&2; Liselotte Neumann (Swe) halved with Pat Hurst; Alison Nicholas (Eng) halved with Sherri Steinhauer; Patricia Meunier-Lebouc (Fra) lost to Meg Mallon 1 hole; Catrin Nilsmark (Swe) bt Rosie Jones 1 hole; Raquel Carriedo (Esp) lost to Becky Iverson 3&2; Carin Koch (Swe) bt Michele Redman 2&1; Janice Moodie (Scot) bt Nancy Scranton 1 hole.
Note: in one of the most unsporting but "letter of the law-invoking" incidents in Solheim Cup history, USA captain Bradley demanded Sörenstam replay a chip shot, which Sörenstam had just holed from off the green. The American fourball team of Kelly Robbins and Pat Hurst claimed that Robbins faced a longer putt than Sörenstam's chip, and demanded Sörenstam replay her chip as a penalty for playing out of turn. Another example where "rules" were invoked taking precedence over the spirit of the game.

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises.
