So Lexi is still in via Rolex Rankings, since she #21 (as of last week).  Do you know is it still Rose Zhang after that?  She and Angel Yin both finished T41 this last week, and they are ranked #31 and #32 (as of last week), with both at 2.94 ave (assume there is some other decimals).  Rose is still operating off the minimum divisor, so she can only really improve?  Yin's calculation will depend on what falls off the back end (or different weighting via aging).  If so, I would assume the math favours Rose.

 

Ally Ewing finished T22, and was #34 coming into the week at 2.91.  Not sure how it shakes out with her and Yin, but per above I assume Rose still has the advantage?

 

Edit:  not sure when the points from Rose's win get a lower weighting?  I guess that is the one way she could see her average change.

Not until September 2023; Rose is the one.

[gsrjc]

I think the US gets destroyed.

As expected, Stacey picked Angel Yin, Ally Ewing and Cheyenne Knight:

Captain's picks round out U.S. Solheim Cup team with eye toward swinging momentum the Americans way

She shot a 76 and 80, for 12 over par on Thursday/Friday this week.  She has played 22 rounds of competitive golf since March (not counting International Cup) with only five of those being under par.

Actually....warming up to this U.S. team.  I thought there weren't enough killers on the U.S., but after seeing MK stare down Linn Grant, SYK, JYK, and the 18th hole, she showed something.  Also, Lilia Vu throwing down F bombs when she hit it in the trap coming down the stretch at the Women's Open was awesome.  Plus, Ally Ewing and Angel Yin are two baddies as well....not to mention Kupcho and DK.  Maybe they have a good combo.

Why in the world would the LPGA have a soccer star reveal the pickings.  You mean to tell me they couldn't have used a former Solheim Captain announce them.  

[Jonnyuk74]

Weak US team as I see it and even though the euro picks weren't great, they really have the dominant team here. Way to many weak or out of form Americans.

Me too. Deserves it - too bad Stacey's hand are tied with Lexi - maybe Lexi turns it around here and fires her up.  OTOH, Stacey's already planned for Lexi to play less it seems (sounded like it by stating Lexi will have more of a different role in Golf Today).  

 

Also glad Andrea just decided to make it herself by finishing T13 last weekend.  Case solved!

US girls are playing great this year .. just not the ones you'd expect. Def an improvement over 2021 team if you ask me! 

[PearSorbet17]

It’s a shame that Ciganda the cheater auto qualified for Europe. 

[ChronicSlicer]

I just wanna see Suzann and Stacy involved in a heated argument about something.

She's a slow player, but cheater?  Did I miss something?

[ChronicSlicer]

DK-Angel

Nelly-Megan

Lexi-Kupcho

Rose-Andrea

Ally-Cheyenne

Vu-Corpuz

Purely based on personality. But I like the Vu-Corpuz team.

Hmmm not sure, your pretty much playing 10 as I don't see Lexi or Danniele Kang playing at all until singles. Nelly is not playing great, and the likes of kupcho, knight, Corpuz and Ewing aren't going to worry the top end of the euro side in matchplay.  Even Rose is a total unknown in this situation so can't be relied upon. But hey, maybe I'm euro and stirring the pot a little bit I do see us winning with daylight this time and on our soil.

Was told she incurred a 2 stroke penalty and knowingly put down a lower score. Pure cheating. 

[MagicClassic407]

Anyone here know why Rolex Rankings haven't been updated this week yet? It's Tuesday afternoon in Europe!

I usually use this list, and it's updated for the week: https://www.wwgr.net/rankings 😀
