Dec 18 (Reuters) - Juli Inksker will return as captain of the United States Solheim Cup team for the 2017 event, the LPGA announced on Friday.
In September, Inkster presided over a U.S. team that completed the biggest comeback in Solheim Cup history when it roared back from four points behind on the final day to edge Europe 14 1/2-13 1/2.
Her reappointment was revealed on Friday at a press conference in Iowa.
The next edition of the biennial U.S.-Europe team match play event will be held at Des Moines Golf & Country Club in August 2017.
