News about Stacy Lewis

If the Ryder Cup has thrown up an inconvenient truth it is that the hype is rarely accompanied by close scoring. Its female equivalent has no such concern ahead of Friday's event in Virginia. That Europe have crossed the Atlantic as holders of the Solheim Cup is the legacy of last year's draw in Spain, with three of the previous four clashes with the USA decided by two points or less. This 19th edition is set to follow the trend, although given the Americans have the two top-ranked players in the world - Nelly Korda and Lilia Vu - they are favourites to win at home.

There is something profoundly moving about standing in a place where sporting history has been made. Be it at Wimbledon, the Stadio Olimpico, Madison Square Garden, Lord's, the Nou Camp ... visit any of these hallowed grounds and the echoes of defeat and historic triumphs are ever-present.

Lexi Thompson, an American golfer, dismissively answered a reporter's query about a pivotal moment in her Solheim Cup four-ball match on Friday afternoon. Going into the 18th hole, Thompson and her playing partner Lilia Vu were tied for the same as Europe's Leona Maguire and Georgia Hall. Thompson attempted a chip onto the green on her third shot but she shanked it. Maguire would chip in and win Europe's first point of the day.

Stacy Lewis, the US captain, has gambled in the Solheim Cup's opening session by leaving out her top-ranked player and launching the first tee shot in the hands of a golfer in the most questionable form. Lilia Vu, the world No. 2 on day one, was the most glaring omission on either side of Andalucia on Friday evening, despite the fact that all 12 of the Americans will have played against Europe before the close of play on Friday morning. Although she's out, Lexi Thompson, an American veteran who has made the cut five times in her previous six starts, will start the first drive.

Stacy Lewis, the American captain, believes golf has squandered a massive opportunity to promote the Solheim Cup and Ryder Cup double-header this month. The twin clashes between Europe and the United States took place in Andalucia and Rome this week and next, but these are two competing entities with different sponsors. Lewis explained she tried to cross the gap but learned that even numbered years from 2024 would never return.

Stacy Lewis, the America's captain, announced her 12-player team against Europe at the Solheim Cup in Spain next month.
