Europe beat the United States 11-6 in the first Solheim Cup in 1992 .

The US were heavy favourites to do the same at Dalmahoy , on the outskirts of Edinburgh .

The European side dominated the final day 7-3 for the unlikeliest triumph.

It took until Loch Lomond in 2000 , again in typical autumnal Scottish weather, for the Europeans to triumph.

Karsten Solheim changed golf club design by tinkering with sugar cubes and lollipop sticks in the 1950s .

The Solheims sponsored the Karsten Ping Open in Phoenix in 1975 , putting up a purse worth about 300,000 in today 's money.

Karsten 's real breakthrough came at the start of 1966 , when he sketched the initial design for a new putter on the dust jacket of an old vinyl record.

John Solheim : 'My dad's feeling was ladies' golf did not get the attention it should for the level of their play'.

The original format had eight players on each team, all playing on all three days .

The US took a 6 -2 lead into the singles, needing 2 points to win the trophy.
