America won its first PING Junior Solheim Cup on foreign soil when it claimed an impressive victory over Europe at St Leon-Rot in Germany.

What i saw in my girls today was they really played their hearts out and that was a big topic this week. So I’m really proud of them and I thought they fought, everybody, as hard as they could. It’s no disgrace to lose to this US side.

There have been a lot of highlights,” added Tinning. “For me, I think just seeing the girls play, and being in the locker rooms with them, and cheering for them, has just been great. And also being with my vice-captain, Sebastian (Rühl), we had a great time, and I think we really had a good plan to beat the Americans, but not quite good enough.
