Inkster showed that in an act of faith Monday, naming Creamer one of her two U.S. Solheim Cup captain’s picks. With Creamer slumping of late, Inkster’s choice comes with heightened scrutiny, even with all the success Creamer has had over the years, running up a 12-6-5 record in five Solheim Cups.
Inkster’s faith in Creamer is the kind of heavily weighted tactical choice that might well define her captaincy.
That’s often the way it is when a player with a profile as high as Creamer’s is a captain’s pick. Creamer might have slid to No.
