Europa-laget
Her er det europeiske laget:
EUROPEAN TEAM ANNOUNCED FOR THE SOLHEIM CUP
29 August 2011, Dublin, Ireland: Captain Alison Nicholas has named her
European Team for The Solheim Cup, taking place at Killeen Castle in Ireland
from September 23-25. Nicholas handed her wild cards to Spain’s Azahara Muñoz,
Sweden’s Caroline Hedwall, England’s Karen Stupples and Sandra Gal of Germany.
The four complete the 12-woman team that will attempt to wrest The Cup back from
the United States of America three weeks’ from now.
"I am confident in my team and I believe that we will do very well at Killeen
Castle,” said Nicholas, who also captained the European side in 2009 at Rich
Harvest Farms in America.
“These players represent the best of European women’s golf and we look forward
to putting on a magnificent show for the fans.”
Scotland’s Catriona Matthew along with Sweden’s Maria Hjorth, Anna Nordqvist and
Sophie Gustafson qualified from the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.
England’s Melissa Reid and Laura Davies, Norway’s Suzann Pettersen and Christel
Boeljon from the Netherlands had already earned their places on the team from
the Ladies European Tour’s Solheim Cup points’ list.
Nicholas has two assistant captains in Joanne Morley and Annika Sorenstam, while
the United States Team Captain, Rosie Jones, also has two assistant captains.
They are Sherri Steinhauer and Juli Inkster, who will be the first playing
captain in Solheim Cup history. Jones named her team on August 21.
The United States has won the last three matches and eight of the 11 editions
played against Europe since the inaugural event in 1990 with an overall score
line of 8-3. However, Europe will be targeting a fourth home victory after their
most recent success at Barsebäck Golf and Country Club in Sweden in 2003.
