Nelly Korda managed what Tiger Woods rarely could. She lived up to her billing as the No. 1 player in golf at a high-stakes team competition against Europe.

And she had plenty of help as the Americans finally got possession of the Solheim Cup after seven long years. Their best players delivered some of the biggest moments.

Rose Zhang showed why she is looked upon as a rising star on the LPGA Tour. She not only became the third American to go 4-0 in the Solheim Cup, she needed just 58 holes to do it. Zhang played the 17th hole at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club only in practice rounds.

Not to be overlooked in this show of American star power is Lilia Vu.
