Laura Davies and Alison Nicholas gave Europe the first point but the home side won 11 of the next 12 matches and the overall match 11.5-4.5.
“In our heart of hearts, I don’t think that any of us thought we could win the match, so the four and a half points that we won felt like a real triumph, especially as we were playing against some of America’s most successful, iconic and well-loved players of all time – later to become Hall of Famers,” said Walker.
