The 2013 Solheim Cup reached its final day of action with Team USA a dangerous distance behind Europe. With their backs against the wall, it was going to take a legendary performance to come back and win the event.

Unfortunately, it was not to be, as Europe fought off a late flurry of U.S. singles victories to take home the 2013 Solheim Cup.



A stunning ending, to say the least.

This marks Europe's second consecutive victory at the Solheim Cup, which is a break from the norm. Europe had never won back-to-back titles at the event, while Team USA owns two separate three-peats.

It's safe to say the tide has turned.

Some of the most respected golfers in the U.S. posted duds, while European stars were born at the event. At every turn, a new European player stepped up as an American fell short.

Here were the most shocking results of all.

 

Charley Hull defeats Paula Creamer, 5 and 4



Entering the final day of action, Solheim Cup veteran Paula Creamer was expected to take down Charley Hull and lead a comeback attempt. Instead of stepping up to defeat the 17-year-old, however, Creamer suffered the second consecutive singles loss of her Solheim Cup career after starting out 3-0-0.

This one wasn't even close.

Hull dominated Creamer, as the latter went down by one stroke on No. 6 and proceeded to fall down five holes by 14. Creamer failed to make up a single hole and proceeded to lose 5 and 4, thus setting a grim pace for the day.

Team USA never recovered.

In Creamer's defense, Hull played absolutely sensational golf, making shots at every turn and sinking putts with a veteran's prowess. Unfortunately for the U.S., this came at the expense of their most successful singles match player.

A disappointing ending to Creamer's Solheim Cup campaign.
