Pettersen Stands Firm: 'No Regrets' Following Solheim Cup Defeat.

Captain Suzann Pettersen says she has "no regrets" after Europe's 15½-12½ loss to the United States, ending their five-year reign over the Solheim Cup.

Despite facing a record 6-2 deficit after Friday's opening matches, Europe mounted a thrilling comeback, winning Sunday's singles 6½-5½. 

For a moment, it seemed they might reach the 14 points needed to secure an unprecedented fourth consecutive Solheim Cup victory.

However, Captain Suzann Pettersen faced criticism for her lineup decisions, particularly the choice to rest Ireland's Leona Maguire—one of Europe's standout players from the last two tournaments—during Saturday's foursomes and fourballs. 

With the US holding a 10-6 lead going into the final day, these choices sparked debate over what might have been.
