Whats up associates and completely happy Saturday from Robert Trent Jones Golf Membership! It was a busy, fun-filled day right here on the Solheim Cup and morale is excessive heading into Sunday singles matches.

I stated it yesterday and I’ll say it once more now: the spectator vibes on the Solheim Cup are unmatched. That is the type of occasion you wish to deliver your loved ones to. It’s the place I’d deliver a pal if I had at some point to show them right into a golf fan. The gallery is as supportive and optimistic as galleries get. I’ve seen little youngsters change Solheim Cup friendship bracelets, adults change contact data to allow them to arrange a spherical of golf and new associates cut up a delicate pretzel whereas cheering on their favourite golfers. The type of folks you wish to be surrounded by appear to be those who go to the Solheim Cup.

Okay, on to Saturday’s motion.

Healthful moments on the primary tee

The shuttle scenario was sorted out earlier than Day 2 of the Solheim Cup, which meant the primary tee was bumping for the opening tee pictures for each the alternate shot and fourball matches immediately. Karsten Solheim’s son John bought the gang pumped up when he started throwing merchandise into the stands, and Jessica Alba did the identical factor a number of hours later.

The truth that we’ve had a U.S. President and a star from the critically acclaimed 2011 movie “Spy Children” present up on the primary tee for the afternoon matches the final two days actually has me questioning who will present up on Sunday. A TikTokker? An expert athlete from one other sport? The choices are infinite and I await the reveal with bated breath.

Additionally, it seems Nelly Korda is nearly as good of a hype girl as she is golfer. This mic’d up video of her on the primary tee from the beginning of the afternoon matches is so, so good.

Alison Lee’s hole-out has Tour gamers speaking

Alison Lee’s hole-out for eagle on No. 2 was unbelievable, though the caddies’ celebrations may be what folks keep in mind most.

Lee was teeing it up alongside Megan Khang, and it seems that the professionals and their loopers made a deal concerning any potential hole-outs. I’m simply shocked it occurred so quick.

Hilarious. A couple of PGA Tour gamers had some enjoyable with the second over on Twitter.

I’m endlessly indebted to the American Junior Golf Affiliation, who despatched over a bunch of outdated images of present Solheim Cup staff members from their days on the Junior Solheim Cup staff.

Nelly Korda and Megan Khang at all times point out that they go means again, and these pictures are pure gold.

It makes me surprise which present Junior Solheim Cup staff members we’ll see on the large (effectively, greater) stage in a number of years time.
