U.S., Europe vying for underdog role at Solheim Cup

The Americans have declared themselves the underdog with the Solheim Cup only a few months away.

With the Europeans winning the last two, nobody seems to be arguing.

But maybe somebody should.

Anna Nordqvist’s victory Sunday at the ShopRite Classic raises the question about who really ought to be favored with the Americans and Euros jockeying to make the teams that go to Germany in September. Nordqvist ended a 14-month winless drought for Europeans in LPGA events. In fact, the Swede is the only Euro to win an LPGA event since Suzann Pettersen won late in the 2013 season.
