WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – After accomplishing just about everything there is to accomplish in golf, Annika Sorenstam finally got her shot as a Solheim Cup captain.
Leading Team Europe might prove to be a lot more difficult for Sorenstam than playing ever was.
Veteran star Suzann Pettersen is out with a bad back.
Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist, the team’s top-ranked player, recently dealt with a bout of mononucleosis.
Four of Sorenstam’s 12 players are making their debuts in the biennial tournament between Europe and the U.S. – and the Europeans are 1-6 on American soil.
