Like a Non-League Team Challenging Man Utd: A Bold Request.

In 1992, during a gloomy week in Scotland, one of the biggest sporting upsets of the 20th century occurred, but it barely made a ripple in the media.

In 1990, under the Florida sun, the U.S. crushed Europe 11½-4½ in the first Solheim Cup. The Americans were again the heavy favorites at Dalmahoy, near Edinburgh.

However, in challenging wind and rain, Europe pulled off a stunning upset, winning 11½-6½.

"It made the Solheim Cup a real contest," Europe’s captain Mickey Walker told BBC Sport. "The Americans thought they just had to show up to win, and they did dominate us the first time. With their legendary players, our victory was a remarkable upset."
