Wildcard entries for Davies and McKay to Solheim Cup

ENGLAND’S Laura Davies and Scot Mhairi McKay will be the only British players in Europe’s Solheim Cup team to face the United States at Interlachen in Minnesota from September 20-22 after they were named as wildcards today by captain Dale Reid.

Reid’s other two choices are a pair of Swedes - Carin Koch and Helen Alfredsson - leaving Scot Janice Moodie, who won the Asahi Ryokuken International in America in May, as a shock omission.

Moodie was joint top points scorer when Europe won the trophy at Loch Lomond two years ago and also showed her liking for the big occasion when she finished tied seventh in the US Open last month.
