There’s a lot more packed into the inaugural Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational team event this week than meets the eye with the Solheim Cup just eight weeks away.
For U.S. captain Juli Inkster and European captain Catriona Matthew, it feels like a bonus qualifying event for the biennial matches scheduled for Scotland in September, even though there aren’t actually any Solheim Cup points available this week.
Still, importantly, the captains will get to see their “prospects” interact in alternate shot and four balls. It’s a chance to impress the captains in those Solheim formats.
