After being infuriated by a call they found unsportsmanlike, the Americans staged the biggest comeback in Solheim Cup history Sunday to wrest the trophy back from Europe.

Paula Creamer defeated Germany’s Sandra Gal to complete the turnaround and secure a 14-13 victory for the United States, which trailed by four points going into the singles.

The match turned after American rookie Alison Lee was penalized for picking up the ball when she thought her putt was conceded in the morning fourballs, which was suspended Saturday.

Day wins BMW Championship: Jason Day won the BMW Championship on cruise control Sunday with a mostly stress-free final round of 2-under 69 that vaulted him into the top spot in the world ranking.

The Australian zoomed out to a big lead by shooting 61 and 63 in the first two rounds at Conway Farms and was never seriously challenged after that. His 22-under total was the second-lowest on tour this year good for a six-shot victory over rookie Daniel Berger. Scott Piercy finished third, seven strokes back.

Rohanna finishes tied for 51st: Rachel Rohanna finished at 6-over par and tied for 51st in the Symetra Tour’s Garden City Charity Classic in Garden City, Kan.

Rohanna is ninth on the money list with thre events remaining. She must finish in top 10 to earn an LPGA card.
