Sept. 4-6, 2021 Inverness Club -Toledo, OH
*********
Two years ago, I thought Europe had no answers against the USA's "Big Four" ... until they played the matches. I'll be quiet this year. 
Nine USA players have been selected automatically ... the last three are picked by Hurst at 10 AM EST today. I would recommend Dr. Noh, Lewis and Harigae.
The full Euro team is set and I don't see any deadwood.
*******
The outcome is not terribly important to me, but we can hope for at least two events:
1.) DK is near an unattended open mic and fouls the airwaves.
2.) Any match between Kupchoke and Cursed Mad begins on the golf course and ends in the parking lot.

I hope Mina Harigae gets in, she really wants it, and has been in great form this summer.
Although, I feel like it'll be hard to not give O'Toole a spot, since she just won an event, and has been a Captain's Pick before.

Brittany Altomare, Mina Harigae and Yealimi Noh. I like all 3 picks a lot.

Today was the official first day of practice ... I could NOT find any photos from three different sources ... nada, zip, zilch ... nobody cares ... yet.

The Jane Park story continues to be a laugh a minute. They are finally going home tomorrow. She's a caretaker now. Apparently pro golf isn't in her future. We'll see.

Wow! Europe has just won the Junior Solheim Cup. It's their first time on foreign soil. They had a four point deficit going into the singles but managed to win the singles 9-3. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTVCLytlSRP |

USA can't blame Amari Avery (3-0-0), she pulled her weight ... The Expert still thinks she is a golf dominatrix in the making.  |

Sorenstam was in charge. The US never had a chance.

The contestants will have a great time at Inverness. I listened to the club historian on a podcast. He said a photo of the Jr. Amateur winner they got him to sign during the trophy presentation was framed and in their wall of fame minutes later when the kid walked by. Right there with Ted Ray, Hale Irwin and all their other champs.

OLLY BRETT is AKA Man Bun ... I never thought of loopers having customized yardage book covers ... maybe they've always had them.
If we're lucky, we'll get a grudge match that will carry over for years.

Foursomes are nerve-wracking ... Capt. Hurst of Team CFD was wise the leave the rookies on the bench for Saturday AM. The Expert's victory predictions are BOLDED below:
Kang/Ernst vs. Nordqvist/Castren (They are just-plain better at this moment)
Ewing/Khang vs. Boutier/Hall (Euros are better and Khang is the only one of the four with no LPGA wins)
Korda One & Two vs. Reid/Maguire (DUH! Catriona is really giving this one away with Reid in there ... maybe to hide or rest other players)
LEXI (TM)/Altomare vs. Hull/Pedersen (I went back and forth on this one. Then I did some look-ups on Wikipedia. Hey, Charley is 4-0-1 is Solheim foursomes ... I didn't expect that since she can drive the ball into purgatory at any time. If Pedersen brings her Olympics form into this one, wow. Meanwhile, LEXI(TM) and BA played one foursome match in 2019 and lost.
*********
BTW, is the UL International Crown dead? Last year's event in England was cancelled and I can't find a word on the LPGA website on when or where it will be played again.

Something was always a hair off about the international crown. It got playing for your country right but after that the format it’s hard to follow.
