The 2013 Solheim Cup was the 13th edition of the Solheim Cup matches, held on August 16–18 at the Colorado Golf Club in Parker, Colorado, southeast of Denver. The Solheim Cup is a biennial team competition between the top women professional golfers from the United States and from Europe. Similar to the Ryder Cup, it is a three-day match play event between teams of twelve players. Europe won the matches by a score of 18–10.
The U.S. team had won eight of the twelve previous Solheim Cups. Europe was the defending champion, having won in 2011 in Ireland, but had never won in the United States. The matches included a series of firsts for Team Europe:[1]
They retained the Cup for the first time since the competition began in 1990.
This was the largest margin of victory for either team.
They won in the United States for the first time ever.
Sweden's Anna Nordqvist became the first player in Solheim Cup history, on either team, to make a hole-in-one.
Sweden's Caroline Hedwall became the first player in Solheim Cup history, on either team, to win five matches in a single competition.
Europe maintained a lead after each of the five sessions and dominated the last two sessions: Saturday afternoon fourball and Sunday singles by 111⁄2 to 41⁄2 points to retain the Cup and win in the United States for the first time.[2]
