Folks, the Irishman has done it again ... and we're not talking about winning the Irish Open for a second time. We're talking about the celebration. Following his 2019 Open Championship victory at Royal Portrush, Lowry was seen singing his heart out in a local pub with claret jug held aloft. It remains one of the great Open coronations of the social media age, and on Sunday, Lowry repeated the trick at a local pub, only this time with a trophy different trophy in hand.

What were Lowry and co. crooning about? Courage? Glory? The rolling emerald hills of Ireland? As it turns out, none of the above. Instead Lowry and his local drinking buddies were singing a tune that Offlay Gaelic football supporters use to mock their rivals Westmeath. We guess it's true what they say: You can take the player out of the game, but you can't stop the player from "taking the p*ss" ... or something like that.

But they had to be appreciate the drama that both matches provided. Each was played away from the shadow of the PGA Tour, giving the event golf's center stage to showcase the suspense and theater that hard core followers have witnessed for years. That’s what makes it so disappointing to realize that in 2028, the Walker Cup at Bandon Dunes and the Solheim Cup at Valhalla will be played on the same weekend (Sept. 8-10). Seriously?!? Unfortunately. The one saving grace is that Bandon is on the West Coast, allowing for live coverage in prime time out east. Even so, it’s a disservice to everybody that the USGA and LPGA couldn’t have somehow coordinated their dates to avoid the overlap.

But the spoils that Team Europe shared Sunday night on the team bus after claiming the 20th Solheim Cup were delivered with some remarkable snark. A day after a viral video of U.S. captain Angela Stanford handing out celebratory drinks to her team on Saturday night, European Solheim Cup legend Laura Davies handed out libations to her side, with the players adding this impressive retort. Take a listen:

“They drink on Saturday. We drink on Sunday.” Quite the chef’s kiss.

making a 90-foot putt on 17 then another from outside 25 feet on 18 for her and Lindy Duncan to top Carlota Ciganda and Celine Boutier. It was significant because it pulled the Solheim Cup matches into a tie at 8 after two days. Shortly after, singles matchups were released and Ciganda, playing in her eighth Cup, saw her opponent: Jennifer Kupcho.

“I was really happy to see that I was playing against Kupcho,” Ciganda said. “She's a fighter, I'm a fighter, and I told her, ‘look, great playing.’ I mean, even yesterday what she did was amazing on 17 and 18. But today I knew she had no chance. I was like, I want to kill you. So I had it very clear in my mind, and I was, like, I'm just going to do this for the team, for Anna [Nordqvist], for all the captains.”

After losing the Cup to Europe 15-13, Stanford expressed that the greens were unexpectedly slow—at least compared to what she expected.

“Even when we showed up in July here, they were faster. And I don't think it had anything to do with the rain either,” Stanford said. “Now, saying that, it's my responsibility to get the team ready. This is the one thing I am kicking myself is that I just didn't keep pushing, you know, we got to figure out how to hit our putts a little bit harder, which is really difficult, to change the way you putt.”

She said her team wasn’t complaining. Jennifer Kupcho made a 91-foot putt on 17 and a 26-foot putt on 18 on Saturday to pull the competition all square heading into Sunday singles. But Stanford said she blamed herself for not being in her players’ ears more, reminding them that the greens were slower than they were used to and that they needed to get the ball to the hole. Though clearly feeling less than thrilled about the greens and disappointed her team isn’t taking the Cup home, Stanford leaves the Netherlands knowing that the overarching goal of the event was achieved.

“Anna [Nordqvist, Europe’s captain] and I agree, if we got to the end of the week and women's golf grew just a little bit more, then we did our jobs,” Stanford said.

Lottie Woad had the winning putt because Carlota Ciganda was guaranteed a half point in her match behind. Charley Hull got things started, Linn Grant came next to end the week a perfect 4-0 and the blue wave followed at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands. Here is a look at final records for each player this week.

EUROPE: Celine Boutier 0-4, Carlota Ciganda 1-1-1, Linn Grant 4-0, Esther Henseleit 2-1, Charley Hull 1-3-1, Nanna Koerstz Madsen 1-2, Leona Maguire 2-2, Nastasia Nadaud 3-1, Julia Lopez Ramirez 1-0-1, Mimi Rhodes 2-1, Maja Stark 3-1, Lottie Woad 1-3-1.

UNITED STATES: Allisen Corpuz 1-3, Lauren Coughlin 3-1-1, Lindy Duncan 2-1, Nelly Korda 2-1-1, Megan Khang 1-2, Auston Kim 1-3, Jennifer Kupcho 1-3, Alison Lee 4-0, Andrea Lee 1-3, Yealimi Noh 1-1-1, Angel Yin 0-1-1, Rose Zhang 2-2.

The 22-year-old Englishwoman’s short par putt ended her match against Auston Kim to win 2 and 1, getting Europe to 14 points. With Carola Ciganda 3 up on Jennifer Kupcho with three to play, Europe was guaranteed to earn the half point it needed to win the Cup. Woad took her time over the putt, even though she didn’t know that if she made it, Europe would win. “I didn't know it was to win. I thought Carlota's match was for it to win,” Woad said afterward.

It was the first full point Woad scored at the 2026 Solheim Cup. “I was pretty disappointed,” Woad said, who’s ranked No. 7 in the world. “Felt like I was playing good golf and not getting the points and felt like I was kind of letting everyone down.” She finished the week 1-3-1. But after that clinching point, she’s not feeling like she let anyone down.

making seven birdies en route to defeating Europe’s Mimi Rhodes on Sunday at the Solheim Cup. Her 4-and-2 victory marks her first singles victory since 2021. She lost in 2023 to Carlota Ciganda and in 2024 to Charley Hull. The point pulled the competition to a tie at 10 points each. But behind Korda is a block of blue: Europe leads the four matches directly following her. It’s the Solheim Cup, so anything is possible. But as Korda heads out to cheer on her teammates, the advantage is toward Europe. Korda will go home with a 2-1-1 record from the Netherlands.
