European Solheim Cup team down to captain's picks

The European Solheim Cup team secured four more automatic qualifier spots with Sunday’s completion of the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open.

Spain’s Carlota Ciganda held off a charge from France’s Karine Icher to hold on to the final Rolex Women’s World Rankings qualifying spot.

Four players made the team off the Ladies European Tour points list finalized two weeks ago. The four highest ranked Europeans in the Rolex rankings who did not make the team on points qualified Sunday night. Icher needed to finish solo fourth or better in Canada to bump Ciganda off the world rankings list but Icher ended up tying for ninth.
