Team USA took home the Solheim Cup on Sunday, and the social media posts that followed were absolutely incredible.

Team USA ended its drought at the Solheim Cup as the ladies beat Team Europe 15.5 to 12.5. Lilia Vu made an epic putt that clinched the Cup, and the celebration was incredible. Her approach shot to just a couple of feet was such a great golf shot.

She came up clutch at the right time.

The Europeans made a valiant effort on Sunday, winning the session 6.5 to 5.5, but it was not enough to complete the comeback.

Team USA had not won the Solheim Cup since 2017, so the ladies were excited.

The crowds provided a fantastic environment throughout the week and did not go unnoticed. Megan Khang was a massive contributor to keeping the crowd in it. She finished 4-0-0 for the second straight Solheim Cup but also found time to be the team’s biggest cheerleader.

“I mean, the atmosphere is electric. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting the crowd very much involved. My voice can clearly be the victim of that. But I’d do it a million times over,” Khang said. “So embracing those moments, being on home soil, and taking advantage of those crowds helped fuel me to play my best this week, and I just had so much fun out there.”

After the big win, videos and posts emerged about Team USA and their celebration. The long drought meant the party would be massive. Khang celebrating was one of the most incredible parts of the afterparty.

She was enjoying herself and singing to the camera, which sparked the hunt to find the best reactions and celebrations of Team USA’s win.

Let’s look at some of the top ones to keep this celebration going.

Former President Barack Obama came to the Solheim Cup earlier in the week but made sure to congratulate the ladies after their big win. Getting a former president to tweet about you has to be one of the coolest moments.

This post would also not be complete without showing the video of the two caddies taking off their shirts to celebrate on Saturday. While it was not after the big win, it was such an iconic moment it had to be here.

Team USA brought out the champagne and put it in the Cup. They each took turns drinking out of it to celebrate.
