Hedwall became the first player in the biennial event's history, on either team, to win all five of her matches, helping Europe to retain the trophy in emphatic fashion.

The Swede teamed up with compatriot Anna Nordqvist in both sessions of foursomes, seeing off Stacy Lewis and Lizette Salas 4&2 in the opening match of the week and defeating Morgan Pressel and Jessica Korda 2&1 on Saturday morning.

Hedwall's partner switched to Caroline Masson for the fourballs, where they won both of their fixtures 2&1 to assist Europe in taking a five-hole advantage into the final day.

Better was to come in the Sunday singles, where Hedwall made a four-birdie at the last to claim a 1up victory over Michelle Wie and ensure the trophy would return back to European soil.
