Solheim Cup 2011 moved to September slot

LADIES European Tour chiefs have announced that the 2011 Solheim Cup at Killeen Castle will be played during September (23-25) and not in its usual August slot.

The competition is a biennial trans-Atlantic team matchplay competition and is considered the premier event in women’s world golf.

“We have chosen to move the Solheim Cup back to September for a number of reasons,” said Alexandra Armas, executive director of the LET.
