Maybe the Americans and Europeans should meet in the Solheim Cup every year.
Those golf entities need more to cheer about.
We were reminded of that Sunday when Germany’s Caroline Masson won the Manulife Classic, becoming just the second European player to win an LPGA event this year. The Americans also have won just two stroke-play titles this year. The Europeans and Americans combined to win 13 titles just three years ago.
The shifting balance of power to Asia in women’s golf has been hardest on the Americans and Europeans.
Back in 1996 and ‘97, before South Korea’s Se Ri Pak won a pair of majors in ‘98 to set about the coming change in the world order, the Americans and Europeans swept the majors, winning four apiece.
