Lexi Thompson Selected for Final Solheim Cup

U.S. Solheim Cup captain Stacy Lewis has finalized her team by selecting Lexi Thompson, Jennifer Kupcho, and Sarah Schmelzel as her wild-card picks. This will mark Thompson's seventh and potentially final appearance at the Solheim Cup, as she plans to retire from full-time professional golf after the 2024 season. Lewis emphasized Thompson's experience as a key factor in her selection, stating it will greatly benefit the team both on and off the course. Kupcho is set to make her third appearance, while Schmelzel will debut. The event is scheduled for September 13-15 at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia, where the U.S. will face off against Europe, who currently holds the trophy. The U.S. leads in all-time Solheim Cup victories, but Europe has been the reigning champion since 2019.
