The unlikeliest Solheim Cup competitor is also a local favorite

Despite the Solheim Cup’s global audience, the biennial battle between Team USA and Team Europe has rarely featured a competitor with local ties. However, this year’s event at Gleneagles in Scotland will feature not one but two players with strong connections to the area: Scottish-born Catriona Matthew, who will be captaining Team Europe, and American Alison Lee, whose grandparents hail from Gleneagles. Lee, a California native, was initially an alternate for Team USA but earned a spot on the team when Lexi Thompson withdrew due to injury. With Lee’s inclusion, a local favorite will be in the spotlight when the Solheim Cup gets underway on Friday.

Nine years after Solheim Cup concession controversy, Alison Lee back on U.S. team

Alison Lee, the American golfer who was involved in a controversial concession during the 2013 Solheim Cup, is back on the U.S. team for the 2023 edition of the biennial event.

Lee, 26, was a member of the U.S. team that lost to Europe in 2013 at Colorado Golf Club. In the final match of the tournament, Lee conceded a putt to European opponent Suzann Pettersen that would have extended the match to extra holes. The concession was criticized by some observers, who felt that Lee had given up too easily.

Lee has since said that she regrets conceding the putt, and that she has learned from the experience. She is now one of the most experienced players on the U.S. team, and she is hoping to help her team to victory in Scotland.

2024 U.S. Presidents Cup captain’s picks announced (with surprise omission)

The six captain’s picks for the 2024 U.S. Presidents Cup team, led by Trevor Immelman, were announced today. The selections include Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Patrick Cantlay, Cameron Young, and Will Zalatoris.

The most notable omission from the team is Dustin Johnson, who has been a mainstay on the U.S. Presidents Cup team in recent years. Johnson, who is currently ranked 21st in the world, has played on the U.S. team in each of the last five Presidents Cups. It is unclear why Johnson was not selected for the team, but it is possible that his recent form is to blame. Johnson has not won a PGA Tour event since the 2020 Masters Tournament and has struggled to contend in recent months.

Presidents Cup captain’s pick snubs: The biggest surprises on both sides 

The Presidents Cup captain’s picks have been announced, and there were some notable snubs on both sides.

For the International team, the biggest surprise was the omission of Matt Fitzpatrick.

He was a member of the 2019 Presidents Cup team and played well, going 2-1-1.
