McBride trying to play way on to sixth Euro Solheim Cup team

TURNBERRY, Scotland – With back-to-back rounds in the 60s at the Ricoh Women’s British Open, Sweden’s Maria McBride isn’t dismissing a late run at making her sixth European Solheim Cup team.

McBride, 41, who played most of her career under her maiden name, Hjorth, is a vice captain for the Euros but is suddenly playing as if she might also want to contribute inside the ropes when the Solheim Cup’s played next month in Germany. She posted a 3-under-par 69 in tough conditions again Saturday at Trump Turnberry. McBride shot a remarkable bogey-free round of 66 on Friday in heavy winds and several hard downpours through her round.
