Wow.... great news for Solheim (and Annika) fans.

Sorenstam and Morley named European Solheim Cup Vice-Captains

Annika looks like she is in good shape.
Question, could she play if she had been picked?
Thanks LOJO you will have made Buzzers day.

I thought Annika is an American citizen now.

I know, I know...she has a dual citizenship!

Well, that would be exciting if Solheim team membership were based on citizenship.

But...it's not.

I'd prefer they put her in the team.

Perhaps she can make a spot start if any of the players are struggling...

They need to have some kind of citizenships don't they? Christina Kim and Michelle Wie who have Korean features can represent the U.S. because they are U.S. citizens and if they were Korean citizens they won't be able to participate do they? How come people who have Japanese, Korean, Mexican, Australian, etc. citizenships can not participate? Since the Solheim Cup is a contest between the U.S. and Europe, to participate, don't you have to be a citizen of either the U.S. or any country of the European continent?
Jennifer Rosales who lives in California, (for example even if she qualifies talentwise), can not participate because she is a citizen of the Philippines...while Dorothy Delasin whose parents came from the Philippines can participate(if selected) because she is an American citizen. Explain that to me!

By the way, you're not talking about the Olympics where , even if you are a U.S. citizen, you can represent the country of your origin, are you?

Earth to DB, where have you been the last several years? We have been over and over and over this ad nauseum, why didn't you listen!

For exactly the same reason Arnie cannot run for President, the requirement for the Solheim is you are BORN in USA to represent the USA, or BORN IN EUROPE to represent Europe. Emphasis on the BORN!!!!! Get it? Got it? Good!

Even John McCain who was born in Panama was able to run for President. What if you were a Military kid or missionary kid and you were born somewhere in Japan, grow up in America, and you become a golfer here in the U.S.A., I believe they'll let you represent the U.S. of A. I don't think they are going to go through all their birth certificates! JMO.
