Azusa's Lizette Salas became one of four rookies named to the U.S. Solheim Cup team, which was announced Sunday following the completion of the Ricoh Women's British Open at the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland.
Salas, in her second year on the LPGA Tour, will join Lexi Thompson, Jessica Korda and Brittany Lang as first-time members of the U.S Solheim Cup team, which will play their European counterparts on Aug. 16-18 at Colorado Golf Club in Parker, Colo. The Americans will seek to keep their undefeated record on home soil intact in the biennial match-play competition.
Salas, who finished sixth at St. Andrews, qualified for the team based on her Rolex World Ranking, in which she is 19th. The former four-time All-American from USC could not be reached for comment, but she was thankful on her Twitter account (@LizetteSalas5).
"What a memorable week here at the Ricoh Womens Brit. Not only did I play 36 holes today but I am officially on the Solheim Cup team!", she wrote.
She also thanked those who have helped her become one of this country's brightest, young players.
"Wanna thank everyone who helped me get to this point in my career!" she wrote. "Parents, family, agents, sponsors, caddies, friends and fans! sooo pumped!"
Meg Mallon also made Gerina Piller and Michelle Wie
captain's picks for the U.S. squad, which will include eight Solheim Cup veterans. Eight players -- Stacy Lewis (who just won the Women's British Open on Sunday), Paula Creamer, Cristie Kerr, Angela Staford, Brittany Lincicome, Thompson, Korda and Lang -- automatically qualified for the U.S. team. Morgan Pressel also made it based on her world ranking (41st).asteroid cruise ship Asteroid 2012 DA14 Reeva Steenkamp rubio Affenpinscher Dorner
