Suzann Pettersen's decision to omit Leona Maguire from the opening foursomes in the Solheim Cup raises eyebrows, especially given her previous stellar record for Europe.
Maguire's absence is notable. She has secured seven wins out of ten matches in prior Solheim Cups, showcasing her as a key player for Europe.
Pettersen defends her choice, citing Maguire's inconsistent performance in 2024, where she missed cuts in three of five majors and finished tied 24th.
Charley Hull's selection, bolstered by her rapport with debutant Esther Henseleit, reflects Pettersen's aim for a dynamic start as they face top competition.
