KILDEER, Ill. – Michelle Wie made the American team for the first time.

So did Jessica Korda.

The United States will defend its title with a revamped squad when it heads to South Korea in the fall for the third rendition of the UL International Crown.

The rosters for the biennial international team event were announced in a news conference Monday at UL’s headquarters in Northbrook, Ill., just north of Kemper Lakes Golf Club, home to last week’s KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

Eight teams previously qualified for the event, with four players from each of those countries earning roster spots based on Monday’s new Rolex Women’s World Rankings release.
