TOLEDO, Ohio – Inverness Club is no stranger to many of these Solheim Cup competitors, Sophia Popov included.
Members of both the U.S. and European teams competed in the LPGA Drive On Championship last July at the Donald Ross gem. Popov, however, is not part of that group. Here's why: She didn’t have status on the LPGA, so she opted to caddie for her best friend, Anne van Dam, who was in the field.
At the time, Popov had an eye on the future, thinking van Dam, a rising star who had made her Solheim debut a year earlier, would be returning to Inverness for a second cup and she'd possibly be on the bag.
