U.S. Solheim Cup captain Pat Hurst drew a line in the sand earlier this season when she said she’d only consider picking players for her team who are ranked inside the top 20 in the point standings. Establishing that cutoff point made it easier for Hurst to determine who would receive her three captain’s picks, but also made it clear to players what the expectations were in order to make the team.
As qualifying rolls into the final week at the AIG Women’s Open, Brittany Lincicome is among several Solheim Cup veterans who need a solid finish in order to catch Captain Hurst’s attention.
