Tue, 31 Aug 2021 – Mon, 6 Sept 2021
Team USA vs Team Europe
The Teams:
USA:
No1 Nelly Korda Heads USA into this event accompanied by Danielle Kang, Lexi Thompson, Ally Ewing, Austin Ernst, Megan Khang, Lizette Salas and Jennifer Kupcho. Captain Pat Hurst then selected Brittany Altomare, Mina Harigae and Yealimi Noh as the three captain’s picks Monday morning, leaving Amy Olson as the highest-ranked American (35th) who will not play in Toledo.
Europe:
Team Europe announced six captain’s picks to round out its roster. Captain Catriona Matthew went with a perfect mix of experience and rookies in good form. Madelene Sagstrom, Celine Boutier and Mel Reid will all be sporting the blue and gold next week in Ohio. They’ll be joined by three rookies in Leona Maguire, Matilda Castren and Nanna Koerstz Madsen, who all finished in the top 20 at the AIG Women’s Open Sunday. Anna Nordqvist won it all after qualifying for the team automatically. Georgia Hall was also already qualified, and gave her a run for the championship at Carnoustie, eventually finishing just one shot back. Their team will be rounded out by Carlota Ciganda, Emily Kristine Pederen, Sophia Popov and Charley Hull.
Both teams are very strong and we expect a close battle, although the betting says otherwise making USA firm favourites. We at degen disagree so here is Our Picks:
Team Europe @13/8 to lift the trophy
Most Points- Georgia Hall @14/1
Top USA Points- Nelly Korda @4/1
