Summary
Four down through 11 holes, Alison Lee stormed back to beat Esther Henseleit and deliver a full singles point for the United States at Bernardus Golf.
Lee played the final seven holes in 4-under, birdieing two of her last three, while Henseleit went 2-over on that closing stretch.
The rally set a new Solheim Cup record for the largest singles comeback in the event's 36-year history and capped an unbeaten week for Lee after three wins in the first two days.
The 31-year-old had only returned to the LPGA in mid-April after maternity leave, making 12 starts with three top-10s to qualify automatically for the U.S. team.
Lee's point was one of few U.S. highlights Sunday as Europe still clinched the Cup when England's Lottie Woad beat Auston Kim 2&1.
