U.S. leads the Europe in biennial duel

U.S. leads the Europe in biennial duel

Only two players on Stacy Lewis’ 12-player squad know what it feels like to win a Solheim Cup.

The last time the U.S. prevailed was seven years ago in Iowa, captained by Juli Inkster. Lexi Thompson was on that 2017 team and Alison Lee, back for the first time since 2015, was part of the greatest comeback in Solheim Cup history in Germany.

The U.S. leads the overall series at 10-7-1, with the Cup’s first tie coming last year in Spain.

This year’s contest takes place Sept. 13-15 at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia.
