WORLD OF US pick Lewis, Pressel

US CAPTAIN Juli Inkster has named Stacy Lewis and Morgan Pressel as her two wild-card picks for next month’s Solheim Cup matches against Europe at Gleneagles.

The title holders have added much-needed experience to their team.

Half of the automatic 10 qualifiers are Solheim Cup rookies, with eight never having played in an away match before.

The 34-year-old Lewis, a former world No1 and two-time Major winner, has featured in four previous Solheim Cups.

Pressel, 31, who has one Major victory to her name, will be making her sixth appearance. She has won twice as many matches as any other player in Inkster’s side.

“I just felt like I needed some veteran leadership and a lot of my team wanted them on the team,” said Inkster.
