Team USA captain Stacy Lewis has prompt that the Solheim Cup ought to think about a "play-off" format after Europe retained the title following a 14-14 tie. The 13-time LPGA Tour winner, and two-time Solheim Cup winner, believes {that a} new format could be extra entertaining for each golf followers and gamers sooner or later.

Europe have been topped the Solheim Cup winner courtesy of Spain's Carlota Ciganda who narrowly defeated Nelly Korda in a tense finale. The action-packed event at Finca Cortesin in Spain resulted in a 14-14 draw, giving Suzann Pettersen's group the win.

Despite this yr's occasion ending in a draw, it was Europe who have been named the champions as the present holders of the trophy. The group gained the earlier 2021 event at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio.

Although this custom has been held because the first event in 1990, it's one thing that USA captain Stacy Lewis believes might be value reconsidering within the close to future. "We were talking about whether, when it is a tie, should it be a play-off, should it be 'retain the Cup'," she stated.

"I don't know. I mean, it obviously would be better TV. It would be a better experience for the fans if there was a team play-off or something like that, I think that would be pretty cool."

Despite falling simply in need of their first Solheim Cup win since 2017, Lewis is happy with the USA group and admits to creating the gamers cry with a passionate speech. "The whole week in general feels like a win," she stated.

"These girls played their hearts out. They just kept fighting and kept fighting, and they literally did everything I could have asked of them this week. I made them all cry, which was not my intent. I just told them how proud I was of them and just the fact that, I don't want to sound like a sore loser, but it was a tie.

"I believe that is loads for this group to construct off of, particularly coming over right here, into this atmosphere with 5 rookies, a really younger and inexperienced group, this week was actually good for them. You look even immediately what number of matches went right down to 17, to 18. Things actually may have been fairly a bit totally different with one or two photographs right here and there.

"Fortunately, we only have to wait another year to go get this thing back. We're moving in the right direction and I'm really excited about the future of this US team."

USA will be capable to take their revenge on Europe on the Ryder Cup which begins on September 25 on the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome, Italy.
