Good point about the qualifying criteria.

Christina Kim has LET membership,but I wasn't aware that Brittany Lincicome or Angela Stanford had dual-memberships.

It needs investigating further...

I have to think that a good performance at the host course would be beyond impressive......

If it's anything like the Australian Open which is a LET event, I believe the LPGA can 'send' 4 players to an event. Blackwelder, D'Alessio, Fankhauser, Allen and Walsh are also LET players, which does only leave Lang, Lincicome, Stanford and McPherson.

Like at many other golf tournaments, is it not possible that some the players got in on sponsor invites. Seems it would be beneficial to the LET to drum up some interest for next years Solheim by including as many American and Europen Lpga players.

Inky just missed her (difficult) birdie putt at the last,which would have forced a play-off.

15,000 through the gates on Sunday,35,000 for the three days ;tremendous attendance for an LET event.

Bodes well for the Solheim...
