Each week, GolfChannel.com takes a look back at the week in golf. Here's what's weighing on our writers' minds.On the Solheim Cup providing plenty of drama, despite the final score:The Americans waxed the Europeans 16 to 11 at the Solheim Cup, but dont let the lopsided score fool you. It didnt reflect the entertainment factor offered in the 15th rendition of the biennial international team event. There was some great theater in so many matches staged Friday through Sunday at Des Moines Golf and Country Club.Danielle Kang put on a show Friday bursting onto the scene as a rookie. Cristie Kerr and Lexi Thompson were 13 under over 16 holes in fourballs on Saturday and had to work to close out Europe. Same with Brittany Lincicome and Brittany Lang, who were 8 under over their first seven holes but were just 1 up stepping to the 18th tee. The Europeans couldnt mount an epic comeback Sunday in singles, but American Lexi Thompson did, coming from 4 down to halve her match with Anna Nordqvist, who actually had to come back in the end with a birdie at 18 to get the half point.The final team scores didnt capture the dramatic scenes this Solheim Cup offered up. - Randall Mell
