Lindy Duncan debuts at the Solheim Cup in the Netherlands

Lindy Duncan is competing in her first Solheim Cup at age 35 at Bernardus Golf in Cromvoirt, Netherlands. The Blue Devils alumna, who struggled to maintain LPGA status throughout her professional career, earned her spot as one of U.S. captain Angela Stanford’s three selections. Duncan faced significant professional setbacks, including a near-miss at the 2022 Q-Series, but later regained her form with a third-place finish at the Dana Open and a tie for second at the Chevron Championship. She has focused on mental preparation through the use of written mantras to overcome performance anxiety and past inconsistencies. While Duncan has experienced four missed cuts in majors this season, her recent performance of five consecutive made weekends helped secure her role on the team.
