Despite the Oozing Pride for Team America, LPGA Gets Nagged by Golf World for Its Failed Attempt to Promote Solheim Cup Members

The Ryder Cup team has been finalized with some unexpected picks from Zach Johnson. But on the other hand, the news has overshadowed the American Solheim Cup crew. While the men have their eyes set on conquering the title for the first time since 1993 away from home, female golfers also aim to dominate the Spanish soil in a month’s time.

Meanwhile, to pay homage to these LPGA icons who have shown resilience on various greens, the LPGA Tour uploaded a special post for its players. In a modern-day style, the tour announced the names of the American team. However, while the action appeared to be a method of acclamation, the golf world hardly appeared to be impressed by these actions of the league.

Following the fulfillment of more than half of the team joined the top Lexi Thompson and Rose Zhang.

The topmost eminent presence to the strength of the US team is captain Stacy Lewis’ three remaining picks. She included the 24-year-old Angel Yin, the veteran star Ally Ewing, and Solheim Cup debutant Cheyenne Knight.
