Europe ended a run of six straight defeats in the Junior Ryder Cup as it secured a team-record 11-point victory over the U.S.
Germany’s Helen Briem provided the Europeans with some early momentum after her 2&1 win over Yana Wilson, before Kris Kim defeated Miles Russell 5&4 to extend Europe’s advantage.
Spaniard Andrea Revuelta holed the winning putt to seal outright victory for Team Europe for the first time since 2004, when they won the trophy on American soil at Westfield Group Country Club in Ohio.
In the final match to finish on the course, Italy’s Francesca Fiorellini provided a moment of magic on the 18th green as she came back from 2 DN with two holes to play, holing a putt from 25 feet to tie the match in front of a raucous home crowd.
European Junior Ryder Cup Captain Stephen Gallacher was delighted to bring home the trophy for his side and believes the future is bright for European golf.
“It feels absolutely amazing,” he said. “I am so proud of this team and what they have achieved. The team spirit has been unbelievable, and it has been a privilege to be their Captain.
“Every player took control of their own game and they’ve done everything I could have asked of them. The standard of golf has blown me away and it has been inspiring to watch. We are looking at future Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup stars.
