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.
