Solheim Cup : At one point early on Sunday with all 12 singles in play the leader board was awash in Blue... but as I said it was early. The European women made a match of it ..finally the teams won 5 each and halved the other two giving the USA a commanding 16 1/2 to 11 1/2 well earned victory.
Annika Sorenstam's crew will look back at the 7-1 drubbing they took in the fourball matches as the main culprit, however this time around the USA women led by Christie Kerr were too good.
However unlike the President's Cup this event is not a foregone conclusion and there is a really good vibe to it.
Part of the reason is that most all of these women will travel together to Ottawa this week to play in the Canadian Women's Open. The LPGA tour has all of its stars playing almost every week, unlike the PGA tour where the big guns may play only 16 - 20 a year. Tiger in his prime only showed up for 17 events built around the majors of course.
Brooke Henderson and Alexa Sharp lead the Canucks and the likes of Lydia Ko, and all the Asian stars who couldn't play last week are in the field.
Canadians in the FedEx Cup: Adam Hadwin. MacKenzie Hughes, Nick Taylor and Graham Delaet are all in.
David Hearn finished 128th so has to play in the Web.com 4 event playoffs to see if he can grab one of the 25 spots available for the PGA tour.
Brad Fitch finished 204th and will have to go to Web.com Q school
