For the second straight time, the Palm Beach Gardens resident and Medalist member will be representing the United States in the Solheim Cup. While there was not much doubt that she would make the team, her win at the LPGA British Open guaranteed her the top spot on the Solheim Cup points list.
Joining her on the American squad will be Paula Creamer, Cristie Kerr, Angela Stanford, Brittany Lincicome, Lexi Thompson, Jessica Korda, Brittany Lang, Lizette Salas, Morgan Pressel, and captain’s picks Michelle Wie and Gerina Piller. With an average age of 25.9 years old, it will be the youngest American team in the history of the event.
The Solheim Cup is the women’s equivalence to the President’s Cup on the men’s side and puts an American team against a team from Europe.

Bridgestone Invitational Welcomes Golf’s Elite to Ohio This Week
This week is a very unique week on the PGA Tour. Not only are there two PGA Tour sanctioned events being played simultaneously, one of the events has no 36-hole cut.

The later event is the World Golf Championships Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club. The field, comprised by invitation only, features 74 of the top golfers from both the PGA and European Tours based on the Official World Golf Ranking.
Since the field is half the size of a typical PGA or European Tour event, there is no 36-hole cut, meaning all 74 golfers play all four rounds unless they withdraw or are disqualified. Tequesta resident Keegan Bradley is the defending champion of the event, shooting a four day total of 13-under par to win by one stroke over Steve Stricker.
Few though have had the success at Firestone that world number one Tiger Woods has. The Jupiter Island resident has won the event seven times in his professional career with his last win coming in 2009.
Other notable golfers competing in the WGC Bridgestone Invitational include Palm Beach Gardens resident Rory Mcllroy, Jupiter resident Ernie Els, Old Palm residents Lee Westwood and Charl Schwartzel, and Loxahatchee River residents Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler.

Canada’s Drought Continues In Its National Open
Canada will have to wait at least another year for one of its local golfers to win the country’s national championship. Brandt Snedeker won the RBC Canadian Open this weekend, extending the win-less streak for a Canadian golfer to 60 years.
Snedeker, who got off to a hot start at the begging of the season before missing time with a rib injury, held onto the lead throughout the weekend with the help of his clutch putting and short game. Snedeker started the first month of the 2013 season with three top-5 finishes including a win at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. It was during the final round of that event that he suffered a rib injury that would keep him sidelined and trying to recover for several months.

The win not only makes his comeback complete, but it puts him in the company of Jupiter Island resident Tiger Woods, as one of only four multiple winners on tour this year. Snedeker can also thank fellow American Hunter Mahan for his weekend lead. Mahan entered Saturday with the 36 hole lead ahead of his 2:50pm tee time. While warming up on the driving range, Mahan received a call that his wive Kandi had gone into labor. Mahan immediately left the tournament to be with his wife for the birth of their first child, leaving Snedeker with the lead.
Brandt fought off several golfers throughout the day on Sunday on his way to his sixth career victory. Loxahatchee River resident Dustin Johnson went into the 17th hole with a share of the lead before his tee shot left him out of bounds and he carded a triple bogey on the hole. Despite triple bogey on 17, Johnson still finished the event in a tie for second.
While a Canadian golfer did not win the event, it was still a win of sorts for the country. Snedeker’s caddie, Scott Vail, is a native of Toronto and was on the bag for the victory. For a complete recap of the RBC Canadian Open, visit www.pgatour.com.
