Kupcho putted from off the back of the green, and it kept rolling and rolling and into the cup.Cue huge celebrations from Kupcho -- "Vamos! Let's go!" she screamed -- and the rest of the U.S. team gathered beside the green. Ciganda and Boutier then both missed.There was more to come from Kupcho, a Colorado native, on No. 18. With the last putt of the match, she poured in a 25-footer to complete a 1-up win and secure a 3-1 victory for the Americans in the four-balls.There was another bold celebration as she cupped her ear to the spectators around the green."That was huge," U.S. captain Angela Stanford said of Kupcho's exploits. "It's absolutely turned the tide."
