‘Would Be Fire’: Golf Fans Validate Team USA’s Admirers Major Change Plea After Drama At 2023 Solheim Cup

The Solheim Cup has come to a close, with Team Europe successfully retaining their trophy. The 18th edition of the competition showcased outstanding gameplay from both teams. With the Americans initially dominating and the Europeans mounting a remarkable comeback, it was undoubtedly a thrilling spectacle to witness.

Although the game resulted in a tie, the Solheim Cup rules dictate that the previous winner still holds onto the trophy. Some supporters of Team US were unhappy with this rule and proposed a new format. Let’s see what they come up with!

The Solheim Cup remains in Europe despite them not winning, and the Americans are not thrilled

Team Europe has secured their third consecutive victory in the Solheim Cup, maintaining possession of the prestigious trophy. The opening day saw the Americans dominate with a 4-0 victory in the foursomes, but Pettersen’s squad made a swift comeback, ending the day with a score of 5-3 in their favor. The following day proved to be a challenge for both teams, resulting in an 8-8 tie. However, Team Europe displayed their strength and determination throughout the competition.

The singles match was intense, tied neck-to-neck, and ended with Carlota Ciganda’s winning putt, making Team Europe champions once again on her home soil. This is Team Europe’s first-ever three-peat victory. As the team and their fans are celebrating their win, the American supporters are dejected.

Justin Ray, the golf enthusiast and content head of the sports-driven Twenty First Group, suggested a slight tweak to the game’s format on his Twitter (X). He suggested a playoff should be implemented. “Could really use a change to a playoff at the Solheim Cup implemented immediately,” he wrote.

Although in a follow-up tweet he clarified that it was a “joke”, that didn’t stop the fans from sharing their thoughts on his out-of-the-box suggestion!
