Jack Milko has been playing golf since he was five years old. He has yet to record a hole-in-one, but he did secure an M.A. in Sports Journalism from St. Bonaventure University.
The Solheim Cup returns to the United States this week, and the home team faces a tremendous amount of pressure.
Not only will this mark Lexi Thompson’s final appearance in this historic event, but the U.S. team has not won a Solheim Cup since 2017. The Americans have lost three in a row to Team Europe, who won by the slimmest of margins a year ago at Finca Cortesín in Andalucía, Spain.
Team USA also has three players ranked within the top 10 of the Rolex Rankings, while Europe only boasts one in Celine Boutier, the Frenchwoman who is currently 10th in the world. Having more top players means you have a bigger target on your back, something the U.S. always seems to have despite the results showing otherwise.
