Paula Creamer

Paula Creamer
Age: 19 Caps: 0
First LPGA rookie to make the team after winning twice this year. Played in Junior Solheim Cup in Sweden two years ago. Patriotism extends to telling Europe to prepare to be beaten. Qualified 8th.

Laura Diaz
Age: 30 Caps: 2 (4-0-3)
A modest season but third in the Kraft Nabisco Championship, one of the year's four majors, boosted her qualification quest. Qualified 9th.

Michele Redman
Age: 40 Caps: 3 (3-2-3)
Has made the last three matches but was target of (now) European captain Catrin Nilsmark's scorn a few years ago when the Swede questioned her talent. Qualified 10th.

Beth Daniel
Age: 48 Caps: 7 (10-5-8)
For second straight time, the oldest player in Solheim Cup history. Has not won on Tour in two years but her vast experience could count for more than results. Captain's pick.

Wendy Ward
Age: 32 Caps: 2 (2-1-5)
Las Vegas win earlier this year and previous Cup experience helped stake claim for selection. Halved a crucial match with Annika Sorenstam in 2002. Captain's pick.
