Scrolling down the LPGA Statistics page on LPGA.com, one finds Jin Young Ko’s face plastered everywhere. The leader of the Race to CME Globe, Official Money, Scoring Average, and Rolex Player of the Year awards is followed by Lee6, who heads the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year race. Lee6 sits in second place to Ko in three of those races and lies fourth in scoring average.

Solheim Cup Points

Brittany Altomare

Team USA

The final countdown has arrived for Team USA, and just 72 holes separate the final three spots from being solidified before Juli Inkster announces her two captain’s picks. If nothing changes in the standings over the course of play in Canada, Brittany Altomare will lock up the final roster spot via Solheim Cup points. Angel Yin and Austin Ernst would take the two world rankings slots. Annie Park looks to play spoiler to Ernst, as she trails by one spot in the Rolex World Rankings, translating to a .01 difference in average points.

Closest to Altomare for the final automatic points slot is Ally McDonald, who needs to finish in 17^thplace or better to have a chance to pass her. Otherwise, the only players who can climb to 8^thplace are Cristie Kerr, Angel Yin, and Stacy Lewis, who all must win the tournament to have a chance to get in by points.

Juli Inkster, after the pan is sifted and the roster slots are finalized, will announce her two captain’s picks on Monday.
