ST LEON-ROT, Germany — U.S. wildcard choice Paula Creamer was almost lost for words after her winning point in the singles secured a battling 14-1/2 to 13-1/2 victory over Europe in the 14th Solheim Cup on Sunday.
Juli Inkster put her faith in Creamer by picking the American for the 12th and final spot, the anchor role on the last day, and she repaid the captain's trust by brushing aside Germany's Sandra Gal 4 and 3.
"Words can't describe it," Creamer told reporters after the U.S. stormed back from 10-6 down to win the biennial team event for the first time since 2009.
