INKSTER'S BLOG: FEELING THE PRESSURE OF CAPTAIN'S PICKS
Topic: JULI-INKSTER SOLHEIM-CUP April 22, 2019


It’s hard to believe that we are already about one-third of the way to the finish line in determining the American squad for the 2019 Solheim Cup. But there is still a long way to go – including four more major championships where the points are doubled – before I have to make my two Captain’s Picks to tee it up at Gleneagles in September.

The United States and Europe have slightly different methods for picking their Solheim Cup teams. They have three players qualify off the Ladies European Tour points systems; five LET members make it off the Rolex Rankings and then Catriona Matthew gets four Captain’s Picks.

Eight of those on the United States team wearing red, white and blue will be determined by the Solheim Cup points list; the next two highest on the Rolex Rankings not already on the team will go to Scotland and then I get to pick the last two players.

I’ll be out there a fair amount, both competing in LPGA events and just watching my girls to get a sense of how everyone is playing. One of the events I’m really curious about is a new addition to the LPGA schedule – the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational, which ends Saturday July 20, right before the back-to-back majors at the Evian Championship and the AIG Women’s British Open.

The fascinating thing about the Dow tournament is that it’s 72 teams of two women with rounds one and three played as alternate shot and rounds two and four as better-ball. And while it is not match play, it will give me an idea of who likes playing with each other and how they mesh together.
