Solheim Cup: Team USA preps for biennial battle against Euros

The 17th Solheim Cup gets underway Friday at Gleneagles in Scotland: Team USA vs. Team Europe and bragging rights as the top women’s golf continent. Team USA has won the past two matches, but the Europeans lead the all-time series 10-6-1.

Much of the attention this week will be on Team USA’s lineup: Captain Stacy Lewis made three captain’s picks (Angel Yin, Mina Harigae and Ally Ewing) who are making their debuts. For Harigae, it will also be her first time playing in Europe.

“It’s definitely going to be different,” Harigae said. “But I feel like our team is going to help us get acclimated and be prepared for it, and just feed off the energy of each other.”

Europe is making one captain’s pick as well: England’s Charley Hull, who played on the victorious 2019 team.
