PHOENIX – Lizette Salas wasn’t going to squander a weekend reprieve and a chance to bolster her Solheim Cup position.
With the American team looking especially difficult to make this year, Salas took advantage of what felt like a bonus chance Saturday at the Bank of Hope Founders Cup.
When Gemma Dryburgh bogeyed the 18th in the final pairing early Friday evening, she bumped the cut line to 1 under, allowing 16 more players into weekend play.
Salas was one of them.
“I totally thought I was out of it yesterday, but you never know,” Salas said.
