Three young American players had top 10 performances to boost their points standings. Finishing T5, Jessica Korda moved into the 8 spot on the Solheim points list, and Lexi Thompson moved from seventh place to sixth by finishing T8. Also with a T5 finish was Danielle Kang, who is still on the outside looking in for Solheim but look for her to continue working her way up the list.
Another young American who has played very well so far this season is Lizette Salas, who has improved her Rolex Ranking this season from 86 to 58 through three tournaments. Lizette is a serious contender for a spot on Team USA as well. For a full listing of Solheim points for both Team USA and Team Europe, go to www.SolheimCup.com.
