I'm not sure, but according to www.tonyslpgareport.com/2017/02/solheim-cup-update-us-players-fighting.html points are awarded as follows:

Winner - 60 points, 2nd - 30 points, 3rd - 28.5 points, 4th - 27 points, 5th - 25.5 points, all the way down to a 20th place finish worth 3 points.

So, after the round 1 win, she will finish at T17 or better. A seventeenth place finish is worth 7.5 points. If she wins the next round she would move up to T9 or better and get at least 19.5 points.

In the 2012 Match Play money was awarded for position but there was no mention of Solheim Points.

A good question for LPGA Staff

LPGA Update:

"MEXICO CITY – Michelle Wie has it all figured out this week. Every day she goes to the same taco spot in the mall across from the host hotel.

“5: El pastor and queso is my order,” said Wie. She also knows how to ask for the check in Spanish. After that, it gets a little fuzzy.

Wiesy loves match play; and she loves Mexico. The good vibes are strong here at the Lorena Ochoa Match Play, where Wie made quick work of Lizette Salas, 6 and 5. (This marks the first year of the match-play format.)"

WIE SURVIVES, ADVANCES
Michelle Wie went 4 down through seven holes to 2017 LPGA rookie Angel Yin in Saturday afternoon’s quarterfinals, but stormed back on the inward nine to take the match to extra holes. She then emerged victorious thanks to a birdie-4 at the par-5 second, the 20th hole of the match.

Wie’s surge included winning Nos. 12-16 to pull the match all square heading to 17. Yin won the 17th, but found trouble on the 18th behind a tree. Wie’s par on the final hole of regulation brought the match to all square.
The duo then traded pars on the 19th hole before heading to No. 2. Both players bombed drives and had the opportunity to reach the green in two, yet both missed the mark. Yin was faced with a difficult bunker shot that flew the green and opened the door for Wie, who calmly converted her up-and-down for birdie for the win.

“I think it was the definition of survival out there,” said Wie. “(Angel) played so good, she eagled 2 and 6, I think she was 5 under in 7 holes, she played great. I’m really proud of my caddie for motivating me and keeping me in my head. And we fought so hard out there.”
Earlier on Saturday, Wie dispatched her great friend Marina Alex by a score of 5 and 4.
Wie is looking for the fifth victory of her career and first since the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open. She squares off Sunday morning against World No. 3 Ariya Jutanugarn, the highest remaining seed in the tournament.

LPGA ......

"(5) Mi Jung Hur Defeats (9) Michelle Wie – Win in 22 Holes
It took 22 extra holes to determine a winner.
Michelle Wie proved to be the dominant player on the front nine by winning five holes to hold a 4-Up lead at the turn, but Hur wasn’t ready to concede the match. Hur answered Wie’s birdie brigade with a flurry of her own, winning five holes on the back. Then, when Wie dropped a shot on No. 17 the match was All Square with one hole to play.
Wie missed a critical par putt for the win on No. 18 which sent the match extra holes. The match remained All Square as the pair headed the 20th hole where Hur chipped in for birdie and Wie made a 2-footer for birdie to extend the match. Hur outlasted Wie, birdied the 22nd hole to win the match."
