U.S. Solheim Cup captain Juli Inkster was walking the course scouting prospective American players Friday at the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational team event.
The veteran duo of Paula Creamer and Morgan Pressel, on the outer fringe of potential team members at week’s start, gave themselves a chance to win.
They are making Inkster think twice.
“It’s their job to make me think,” Inkster said. “They’re so good together.”
With a 1-under-par 69 Friday in alternate shot, Creamer and Pressel slipped off the pace, but they are very much in the hunt. They’re tied for second, five shots behind Cydney Clanton and Jasmine Suwannapura, who teamed to shoot 63, a terrific score in a difficult format.
