 King leads a squad packed with experience |
Paula Creamer, Juli Inkster and Morgan Pressel head the US team for the Solheim Cup, announced on Sunday. Joining them are Natalie Gulbis, Pat Hurst, Cristie Kerr, Brittany Lincicome, Stacy Prammanasudh, Angela Stanford and Sherri Steinhauer.
After the LPGA Safeway Classic event, Betsy King used her captain's picks to select Nicole Castrale and Laura Diaz.
"We have solid Solheim Cup experience and we have a lot of youth and energy, as well," said King.
The Solheim Cup, which began in 1990, is a Ryder Cup-style tournament in which 12 European golfers compete against a team from the States.
The event will be held at Sweden's Halmstad Golf Club from 14-16 September.
The United States won the event in 2005 but lost in 2003 - the last time it was held in Europe.
