Braselton, GA - Team USA Captain Beth Daniel has named Avery McCrery of Wilmington, Delaware, Natalie Yen of West Linn, Oregon, Anna Fang of San Diego, California, and Madison Messimer of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to the 2024 United States PING Junior Solheim Cup Team.
McCrery, Yen, Fang and Messimer, join the other eight girls announced last week to represent the United States team in early September. The 2024 PING Junior Solheim Cup is to be played at the Army Navy Country Club, in Arlington, Virginia, September 9-10.
Modeled after the Solheim Cup, the PING Junior Solheim Cup biennially features the 12 best female junior golfers (ages 12-18) from the United States against their counterparts from Europe. The team match play event includes foursomes, four-ball and singles matches played over two days and rotates between U.S. and European host sites coinciding with the Solheim Cup. This year’s event includes both teams watching the final days of the Solheim Cup matches at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, September 10 - 15, 2024.
The United States is looking to break Team Europe's back-to-back win streak in Virginia. The most recent US win came in 2019, where the victorious team won 13 to 11 in Scotland at Gleneagles - Kings Course. Team USA still leads the all-time series, 7-4-1.
