Nelly Korda leads United States into Solheim Cup competition in Netherlands

Nelly Korda is set to lead the United States team in the Solheim Cup at Bernardus Golf course, where matches begin Friday. The Americans aim to secure their first victory on European soil since 2015 after reclaiming the trophy in 2024. U.S. captain Angela Stanford enters the tournament looking to leverage her experience in away environments to guide a squad that includes two rookies. While Korda remains a focal point, the U.S. roster faces challenges due to the absences of Lilia Vu and Lexi Thompson. The European team features Lottie Woad and Charley Hull, who rank among the top competitors leading their side under captain Anna Nordqvist. The matches are expected to occur in a respectful atmosphere, contrasting with the intense environments often seen in the men's Ryder Cup.
