sports.yahoo.com

Europe captain Anna Nordqvist finalized her Solheim Cup team Monday, adding veteran Leona Maguire and three rookies for the Sept. 11-13 matches in The Netherlands. Europe seeks to reclaim the cup after a three-point loss in Virginia two years ago. Charley Hull earned an automatic spot from the Ladies European Tour points list, while Esther Henseleit surged to second after a playoff loss at the Women’s British Open. Six world-ranking spots went to rookies and veterans including Celine Boutier and Carlota Ciganda. Maguire, 31, has an 8-3-1 record in three Solheim Cups but missed cuts in four majors this year. Dewi Weber was ineligible despite ranking ahead of three picks due to non-LET membership. Team USA hasn’t won on European soil since 2015.
