Sky Sports News' Jamie Weir looks back at the big storylines from a remarkable Sunday at the Solheim Cup, where Leona Maguire impressed, Caroline Hedwall delivered and Carlota Ciganda secured history on home soil.
Team matchplay golf remains undefeated. This competition, this format, never fails to deliver, and once again it was nerve-jangling, tension and drama by the bucketload right to the very end.
It was an incredible final day, an incredible three days, and an incredible showcase for women's golf.

So often in these competitions, there are huge swings of momentum on the final day. At one stage it looked like it was Europe's Solheim Cup, then came the half-hour period where everything was flipped on its head.

Angel Yin broke the heart of Celine Boutier with a wonderful birdie putt on the 17th to seal the match.
Both Georgia Hall and Gemma Dryburgh, having been up in their matches for the majority of the day, could only agonisingly take half a point each and at that point it was looking ominous.
As for Leonna Maguire - what more superlatives are there for her? She's played in two Solheim Cups and never missed a single session. Once again, she leaves Finca Cortesin with a winning record, having won all three of her matches when playing her own ball.

Leona Maguire made five birdies and an eagle at Finca Cortesin to win 4&3 against Rose Zhang in their Sunday singles match at the Solheim Cup.
On Sunday, she was given the task of heading out at No 2 to try to take down US phenomenom Rose Zhang. The look of steely determination on her face when she walked past me on the first tee left me in no doubt as to what the result would be.
Leona delivered a 4&3 victory and there is no doubt she is made for this competition. She loves every second of it, she is a true feisty matchplay competitor who refuses to be beaten, and in her Europe have a Solheim Cup superstar for years to come.

Congratulations to the script writers for the fairy-tale - and it had to come down to Carlota Ciganda, didn't it? Winning all four of the matches she played on home soil, it took a spectacular finish from Ciganda for Europe to retain the Solheim Cup.
All square on the 16th tee, she stuffed her approach to two feet and promptly won the hole from Nelly Korda. On the 17th, with spectators horseshoed around the green and grandstands, she did exactly the same. It was one of the best shots of the week and outstanding considering the pressure she was under.

Suzann Pettersen says Europe 'never looked back' after the rough start and Carlota Ciganda seized her moment on the final day.
It has just been the most incredible, unforgettable week. Around a course that isn't particularly spectator-friendly, the crowds came out in force. The cheers which echoed around Finca Cortesin when Europe holed or won a putt were something to behold.

Carlota Ciganda says it was an amazing experience to retain the Solheim Cup in Spain and that her magical shot on 16 was for Suzann Pettersen.
The atmopshere on the first tee as the music blared out and the hugely colourful fans packed into the grandstand sang and danced before every match teed off was truly special to witness. This competition has come so far since the inagural Solheim Cup all the way back in 1990 and gets exponentially bigger every time.
The good news is we get to do it all again in Virginia this time next year. It has been an unforgettable week and one I am so proud to have been at on the Costa del Sol - which this week has been well and truly the Costa del Solheim.
