I watched a lot of the competition and the US blew the first morning session badly.  In the past they could expect easy singles wins to make up for it but the other team actually had depth this time.  Again and again it appears American teams fold when they have to hole out down the stretch with the putter whether it is men or women.  Maybe the Captains should look at decent putters when they make their picks.

 

Mina, Yealimi, and Brittany had decent weeks. Can't hang this loss on them.

It's funny what one tournament can do -- I don't think she can even speak the language and has no affiliation to the country other than her mother being originally from there ( somewhat like a Jason Day).    

 

 (juniors) is the one that they should be following LOL...  

 

 

 

 

And they are following Alex too!  Especially after she won Australian Open Jr. Doubles title.   But you know that already too! 😉😆

Team USA final tally:

 

                                         W-L-T          Points

 

Lizette Salas                     2-1-1             2.5

Jennifer Kupcho               2-1-1             2.5

Yealimi Noh                       2-1-0            2.0

Nelly Korda                       2-2-0            2.0

Brittany Altomare             2-2-0            2.0

Megan Khang                   1-1-1              1.5

Lexi Thompson                 1-2-1             1.5

Ally Ewing                          1-2-1             1.5

Austin Ernst                       1-2-1             1.5

Mina Harigae                     1-2-0            1.0

Jessica Korda                    1-2-0            1.0

Danielle Kang                    1-3-0            1.0

 

Team USA probably could've earned an extra 1.5 points for the win if Danielle, Lexi, Ally and Austin played 3 matches instead of 4 matches.

My lasting impression will be Danielle "Look at me" Kang all smiles laughing and giggling her way up the cart path from 17 to 18 after her team had already lost....a mere 5 minutes prior to losing her match and yet another point on the 18th....disgusting. 

Her whole Schtick has worn thin

Hard to say. Substitute another player who then has to play 4 matches and it's possible they run out of gas today. Megan, Jessica, Yealimi, and Mina played three matches. Only Yealimi had two points, so it's not like the other three were shoe ins for a point. 

 

The thing that really stands out to me is that no American had 3 or more points.

Can you post the European players scores? It's nearly my bedtime and I'm too exhausted to work them out.

This prediction is USA 6-1/2 and Europe 5-1/2

 

Solheim Cup singles matches predictions! Previewing all 12 Monday match-ups

Shockingly bad those predictions, 9 wrong I think.

 

Matchplay predictions with 2 strong teams are a fool's errand (but still fun).

World rankings go right out the window with match play. The ability to throw out blowup holes changes everything. 

 

Even the lowest ranked player in the field is still capable of making 6 to 8 birdies. 

 

Add in the rarity of alternate shot, and it's a coin flip.

And for some reason Morgan Pressel sounds much better on course than she does in the booth.  Her "outdoor quiet" voice isn't nearly so annoying.

 

I think a big part of it is that when she's in the booth she probably thinks she needs to fill all the dead air, although not quite as chatty as Karen. On the course she provides some good insights in small bites.

Thompson -.5           4 matches

Ernst          -.5            4 matches

Harigae   -1         3 matches

J, Korda      -1           4 matches

Kang         -2            4 matches

It's strange but  the WRX forumers  did say that the Americans were top heavy but shallow/not deep... seems like it did end up this way...  I mean, we've already talked about Castren's iron play at Lake Merced.  And a separate thread to Leona's "distance" so it's not as if these Europeans are "lightweights".  On the contrary, Matilda was a sleeper that a lot didn't know about (And still don't apparently, judging by Brandel Chamblee's analysis at Golf Central thereafter LOL)
