Her er informasjon om årets turnering.
Moodie Urges Top European Youngsters to Target a
Place in the 2013 PING Junior Solheim Cup Team
New captain, Janice Moodie, has urged Europe’s leading girl golfers to set their
sights on winning a place in the European team for the 2013 PING Junior Solheim
Cup match, to be staged at The Inverness Golf Club, in Denver, Colorado, on
Tuesday August 13 and Wednesday August 14.
Speaking ahead of the first qualifying event, the Spanish International Ladies’
Amateur Championship, to be played at Pula Golf, Mallorca, on February 27 to
March 3, the Scottish LPGA Tour player said: “We are fortunate there are a lot
of very good young girl golfers around Europe at the moment and I’d like them
all to be targeting a place in this year’s PING Junior Cup team.
“It won’t be easy because there are only a limited number of places available
but it is an attainable goal and will give the successful girls an experience
they never forget no matter what they go on to achieve in the future.
My mother used to say ‘let your clubs do the talking and the rest will take care
of itself’ and that’s good advice for anyone who wants to get on in this game,”
the three-time Solheim Cup player added.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all the girls the best of luck this
season. I can’t wait to meet my team and getting down to the serious business of
winning the trophy back from the Americans.
Europe goes into the 2013 PING Junior Solheim Cup seeking revenge after the
Americans retained the trophy by halving the 2011 match at Knightsbrook Hotel
Spa & Golf Resort, Co. Meath, Ireland.
The first step in that process comes when a strong international field competes
in Spain in what is the first of six events in which PING Junior Solheim Cup
qualification points are up for grabs. It continues with the French
International Lady Junior Championship at St Cloud Golf Club (March 28 – April
1), the German Girls’ Open at GC St Leon-Rot (June 7-9), the Ladies’ British
Open Amateur Championship at Machynys Peninsula G & CC (June 11 -15), the
European Girls’ Team Championship at Linköping, Sweden (July 9-13) before
concluding at the European Ladies’ Team Championship at Fulford GC, England (July
9-13) when the leading six players from the official Points Table will earn an
automatic place in the European side. The six qualifiers will be joined by a
further six Captain’s picks.
The field at this year’s Spanish International Ladies’ Championship includes
Spaniard, Clara Baena Sanchez, the 17 year-old who won the recent Portuguese
International Ladies’ Amateur Championship and her compatriot Ha Rang Lee,
winner of the 2012 Spanish International Ladies Amateur Stroke Play Championship
and finalist at the final of the 2012 British Girls’ Championship at Tenby.
Other leading competitors include German international, Quirine Eijkenboom,
currently ranked No. 8 in Europe and fourth behind Sanchez in Portugal, and
Denmark’s Emily Pedersen and Swede, Linnea Ström, 2nd and 5th respectively at
this year’s Annika Invitational in Florida. The British contingent is headed by
English international Amber Ratcliffe, her compatriot Gabby Cowley, who won last
year’s Scottish Under-16s Stroke Play title, Ireland’s Chloe Ryan and Scots,
Lauren Whyte and Clara Young. Whyte is the reigning Scottish Under-18s champion.
The PING Junior Solheim Cup was inaugurated back in 2002 when the American team
emerged victorious at Oak Ridge, Minnesota. They also won in 2005 and 2009, with
the Europeans claiming the trophy at Bokskogens GK, Sweden, in 2003, and Båstad
GK, Sweden, in 2007. The match series currently stands at 3-2-1 in favour of the
Americans who have never lost on home soil.
Leading golf manufacturing company PING is the founder, owner and title sponsor
of the PING Junior Solheim Cup and the event will be operated by the American
Junior Golf Association (AJGA) with assistance from the Ladies European Tour
(LET) and the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA).
The PING Junior Solheim Cup always takes place immediately ahead of The Solheim
Cup, this year due to be played on August 16-18 at Colorado Golf Club, just 20
minutes away from The Inverness Golf Club.
Moodie, this year’s European PING Junior Solheim Cup captain, replaces Lotta
Neumann, the captain two years ago in Ireland, who will be captain of Europe’s
Solheim Cup team bidding to retain the trophy at Colorado Golf Club.
Kathy Whitworth, Captain of the first two US Solheim Cup teams and an LPGA Hall
of Famer, will lead the 2013 United States PING Junior Solheim Cup team.
