Stacy Lewis has always envisioned herself captaining a U.S. Solheim Cup team. She just didn’t think it’d happen this quickly.
Lewis, who will be 38 years old when the biennial matches are contested in Spain two Septembers from now, was officially announced Wednesday morning as the next American captain. She will be the youngest ever to lead the U.S. side and second-youngest captain in Solheim Cup history behind only Catrin Nilsmark, who was 36 when she led Team Europe in 2003.
“I obviously knew this was going to happen at some point in my career,” Lewis said.
