The countdown is ticking! We are now four weeks (29 days to be exact!) away from the Solheim Cup. Thank you for your input on who you would chose for the US Team and as you may have seen, the US team has now officially been chosen. In a surprise move, Captain Rosie Jones selected two rookies to bring the team to 12 players. The newest, and final, additions to the team are: Vicky Hurst and Ryann O’Toole. Congratulations Vicky and Ryann! The U.S. Team will feature nine players returning from the winning 2009 team including Cristie Kerr and Solheim Cup veteran and assistant captain Juli Inkster. Good luck, ladies!
Alison Nicholas will select the European team on Monday of next week. Melissa Reid, Laura Davies, Suzann Pettersen and Solheim rookie Christel Boeljon have already secured spots on the team through the LET (Ladies European Tour) point standings and automatic picks will be made from the Rolex World ranking for four additional spots. I am excited to see who those additions and the Captain picks will be!
This brings us to another poll.
Be sure to visit my blog again next week after the European team is selected. There will be a lot to discuss!
